Cross of all Christendom
I made this very unusual Cross of all Christendom many years ago. This is the only one that I will ever make. This cross is a one of a kind. It was carved by hand and finished in gold by George Postgate. We've made many special pieces for our customers over the years. If you would like to see some examples please follow this link https://postgatejewelers.com/postgate-jewelers-jewelry-designs/
Details: Cross of all Christendom
The cross is about 2 1/4" X 1 1/2" in size. The front of the cross has a white 14KPD gold circle in its center encircling a Celtic trinity knot in 22K gold.
The inscriptions on the arms of the cross are in the earliest languages of Christianity: Hebrew, “ I am which is how god identified himself to Moses from within the burning bush.”, Aramaic, Greek,” I am”, and Latin.
The reverse of the cross has the cross of Jerusalem in its center with three Maltese crosses guarding it. Four fish symbols are next. They were the secret devices used by early Christians to identify each other during their persecution by the Romans. The different crosses located at the ends of the cross's arms represent the spread of Christianity in its earliest periods. The two crosses at the bottom of the cross are Ethiopian. The earliest was derived from the Egyptian Ankh. The Right arm of the cross has The Cross of St. Thomas at its end and the Left arm has the Celtic cross. The upper arm of the cross has the Russian Orthodox cross on it.
