It depicts the figure of Christ crucified in relief, with outstretched arms and a draped loincloth. The four ends are decorated with fan-shaped silver-plated finials, attached to the cross by clasps with triangular geometric motifs and small raised dots. It retains the INRI cartouche and a top suspension ring. Its construction combines applied metal elements with a cut-out central body, following a devotional jewelry typology consistent with the early decades of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1920s and 1930s, European religious jewelry incorporated decorative synthetic materials, such as celluloid and galalith, which allowed for the creation of lightweight pieces with various ornamental finishes. The body of this crucifix has a cream hue and a pearlescent appearance consistent with these historical materials, although its exact composition has not been confirmed by analysis. The stylized composition and geometric motifs reflect the Art Deco influence on religious jewelry of the period, especially its fan-shaped finials. It was likely made between 1920 and 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Art Deco \/ Religious Jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDecoration\/Motif: Crucified Christ, INRI cartouche, fan finials, and geometric motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod\/Dating: ca. 1920–1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Europe, probable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarked: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Silver-plated metal and cream-colored synthetic material with a pearlescent appearance, consistent with celluloid or galalith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarks\/Maker's Marks: None observed in visible areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 11 cm high × 7 cm wide, excluding the second ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.11 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese items are not new; they show signs of wear and may have scratches and imperfections due to their age and use.
