Description
A pectoral cross, four-armed, with straight ends. On the front is inscribed an eight-pointed cross with the instruments of the Passion — a spear and a reed. The arms of the cross end in rhombuses, into which are set depictions of the Holy Spirit as a dove, the letters "IS," "KHS" ("Jesus Christ"), and a trefoil. On the reverse is the text of the Troparion to the Cross. The cross's loop is round.
The cross entered the museum's holdings in 1951.
