Antique Portuguese Crucifix in 19kt Yellow and White Gold

About the Item

This antique crucifix is very stylized and combines yellow and white gold. The particularity of this pendant is the gold quality. Portuguese gold is famous in the world for being 19kt, which means that in the aliage there is more percentage of gold. The term crucifix refers to a cross with Jesus on it. Due to the sensitive nature of Jesus’s brutal death on the cross, the early church substituted Jesus’ human figure on the cross with a bleeding lamb. It would be the Council at Constantinople in 692 that would order the actual figure of Jesus replace the symbolic forms. From then on the crucifix rose quickly in popularity. This antique crucifix is in good used condition, with normal signs of wear commensurate with the age of the jewel.
