Reliquary

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold-colored reliquary in the shape of a cross. The cross has four arms of equal length. Each arm has a rounded end with an engraved design and a gray stone in the center. The center of the cross has a smaller cross with a gray stone. The cross sits on a short stem with a bulbous base and a round base plate. The stem and base plate are made of a darker, more tarnished metal. There is a small shield-shaped mark on the front of the base plate. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
