Cross 1850 - 1900

This intricate gold cross, dating from the 19th century, is a testament to the skill of anonymous artists working in the tradition of filigree. Its delicate, interwoven patterns and circular motif at the center showcase the artistry of metalwork. This small, yet finely crafted piece, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a captivating example of religious art and craftsmanship from the late 19th century.
