Antique Scottish Silver Large Celtic Double Sided JHS Christogram Cross Pendant

About the Item

Finely detailed antique Scottish silver Celtic cross with exquisitely decorated arms featuring interlaced Medieval style motifs and a central nimbus with a Christogram, the stylized letters JHS for Jesus Hominis Salvatus, or “Jesus Savior of Mankind”. The Christogram JHS or IHS has been used in Latin since the seventh century. The placement of the letters within a circle is associated with the symbolism that Jesus's love is everlasting. This cross is double sided with very fine chased silver workmanship on both sides requiring double the attention from the artist who created it. It has acquired a wonderful smooth patina from years of being lovingly handled. Condition: Very Good Tested for Sterling Silver Weight: 17.9 grams Height: 3.19 inches Width: 1.94 inches
