Russia 19th century.
Rare processional cross formed of mother-of-pearl applique plates.
The engraved and cut decoration represents in the center Christ on the Cross surmounted by the Father and the Holy Spirit. Around different Saints.
Under Christ, an openwork Cross perhaps reserves a hiding place for a Relic.
On the back, engraved decoration of Chalice, Christ, Cross, and others.
The Cross is in good condition for its age, with slight wear and tear or small cracks visible in the photos. A small lack of mother-of-pearl on the left of the skull.
Height: 28.5 cm. Width: 13 cm. Depth: 1.5 to 2 cm.
