Antique Imperial Russian Silver Filigree Pectoral Cross Orthodox Clergy Priest For Sale

This unique, antique Russian Orthodox priest's church cross is a truly unique item with a fascinating history, brought to Alaska during the Russian America period before 1867. This is a large ecclesiastical church cross worn by a priest over his vestments, not a common small neck-wear cross. While the item is unmarked and bears no official stamps, its exceptional craftsmanship and history clearly prove it is an authentic Russian piece. It has been tested and verified as genuine silver of that era, which gives it a beautiful, authentic aged patina. This is a substantial, large piece measuring exactly 5.5 inches in height and 4 inches in width, with a solid weight of 59 grams.
