trending ! Gold/gilded byzantine orthodox cross 1.5 inch on silver chain. 8-12th century CE

Gold Orthodox Cross.When highly people see this cross they see certain attributes.The dull imperfections,the missing prayer on the back. I see a cross that was so important,so loved that it's appearance proves to me it stayed skin close.It could have also been passed down for generations.Objects that were placed on a pedestal to be observed stay in superb condition.Objects that are loved,cherished and used held an important spot in ones life.The physical appearance shows that importance.This cross is the perfect example of a love that was important enough to stay skin close and rarely removed.This is the reason why the image is so faint on the front and the prayer that used to be on the back is completely gone.These are the stories humans leave behind long after the owners are gone that I go crazy for.This is also our way of immortality.Our way of getting a chance to add to those stories for another generation.This is why I do what I do.
