Processional Cross (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
X-radiography confirms that the cross was cast in one piece as there are no indications of mechanical or solder joins between the different parts.
Pure copper was used in the 14th and 15th centuries to cast crosses, helping to confirm the dating of this cross, which is also based on its circular design.
