Lot 515: A Yellow Metal Byzantine Chain and Russian Orthodox Style Crucifix Pendant
This lot comprises a yellow metal necklace featuring a Byzantine style link chain and a detachable crucifix pendant. The pendant is designed as an Eastern Orthodox pectoral cross, with a central corpus figure applied to a cross decorated with engraved patterns and recessed blackened detailing. The reverse of the pendant is plain and polished. The chain is fitted with a lobster claw clasp. No hallmarks or maker marks were observed on either the chain or the pendant. Based on market consensus for visually identical items, this piece is in the style of a Russian Orthodox devotional pendant and appears to be gold plated.
Length: Not measured.
