Lead cross with an image of crucified Christ
Casted lead pectoral cross, on the face side an engraved motive of the crucified Christ, on the back side a relief motive of the Mother of God. The combination of two most important Christian figures on one item makes it a unique piece. The cross is of the same size as the item with the Greek inscription from Uherské Hradiště-Sady, the representation of the crucified Christ is similar so that the same origin of the two crosses cannot be excluded.
