Fragment of a Processional Cross

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of a Processional Cross by artist unknown. The cross is made of metal, likely silver or gold, with a predominantly silver color. The cross has a long, thin handle that extends from the top, with two small spheres on either side at the top. The cross has four arms of equal length that extend outwards, with small spheres on the end of each. The surface features several circular medallions with raised images of people, likely religious figures. The surface is decorated with intricate designs and patterns, including etchings and raised details. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray to light gray. The cross appears to be old and ornate, with a high level of craftsmanship. The object appears to be a fragment, with only part of the cross visible. The cross has a beaded border around the edges.
