Description

Made of silver-toned metal with gold spraying. It is an outline for a four-armed carved wooden cross, with radiating rays between the crossbars and small balls at the ends of the arms.

Note: the cross belonged to the pre-war (pre-1941) part of the collection of the H. S. Skovoroda Historical Museum; it was evacuated in 1941, and returned to Kharkiv in November 1944 in fragmentary form, as this edging.
