Beschreibung:
This bronze "enkolpion" (pectoral cross) depicts the standing Virgin and Child flanked by busts of the apostles Peter and John. An accompanying inscription identifies the Virgin as the Panagia ("All-Holy One"). The other side has in its center a medallion with a bust of Saint George. Since the cross can be opened, it may have been used to hold relics.
