11th-13th centuries. The Jerusalem cross with cross potent. Five crosses in one, representing the five wounds of Christ originating with Godfrey of Bouillon, a Frankish Knight of the First Crusade, known as Baron of the Holy Sepulcher and the Crusader King, ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem following its victorious siege in the First Crusade. This example, silvered bronze, just under an inch diameter, with the cross superimposed on a central diamond. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored on sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. An actual pendant worn by a Crusader 800-1000 years ago.
