This is an Italian gilded copper on a wood core processional cross. The style of the cross is a variation of a Christian cross: the vertical bar is longer than the crossbar, and the crucified Jesus Christ is on the front. However, each bar ends with a raised, clover-shaped medallion depicting other religious figures. On the horizontal bar, it is a hooded woman and a robed man on the left and right, respectively.  Three-quarter depictions of angels are on the top and bottom medallions of the vertical bar. On the reverse side of the cross, the central image is of the risen Jesus surrounded by medallions with the same attendants as on the front. All of the images, front and back, are done in reposeé (hammering of the design from the back of the copper sheet). At the bottom of the cross is a short metal bar that would have attached the cross to a pole so that the cross could be seen above a crowd of observants.
