Description

A pectoral cross, women's, four-armed, "flowering" (with budded ends). The crossing is square, the arms in the form of elongated petals outlined with rays of radiance. The lower arm ends in a lily-like finish. The upper arm has a flattened loop for hanging. Due to the object's condition, the imagery on the arms is no longer legible. The reverse of the cross is plain.

The cross entered the museum's holdings in 1951.
