Description: Vintage or antique fine solid silver small but sturdy (approx. 1 1/8" tall with bale and jump ring; weight approx. 1 g) Cross pendant featuring a traditional Ukrainian Orthodox design with triangular shape of the crossbar ends and "granulation" technique used for decoration of the obverse. Crosses of similar design are sometimes referred to as Zaporizhzhia tradition crosses. They could be found in what is today Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Ukraine, and some historical findings are displayed in the Ukrainian Museum of the Cross (please see the last picture for a reference). The large soldered jump ring of the pendant bears two punch marks, one of which displays the "925" hallmark indicating the "sterling" purity. The pendant was also tested positive for solid silver of "sterling" purity showing red color with the acid test. The item has visible antique or vintage appearance with signs of wear consistent with its old age and devotional wearing, including reduced quality of artwork, deformations of the original shape, multiple scratches, dents and patches of dark silver patina or oxidation. Some of the original dark patina has been removed using gentle manual cleaning and polishing. The size and weight of the item are shown on the photographs for this listing.
