Cross: The central portion of the Cross is a form of the “Made Without Hands” icon which is a face of Christ which was used on the Russian Army Standard.  Around this icon are symbols of the Four Evangelist:  Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. The verso contains the Sweet Kissing Icon of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.  Icons reflecting the tenderness between a Mother and Child were instrumental to the conversion of early Slavic Christians since they had very strong female gods.  A prayer to the Virgin surrounds the icon. 1 3/8"x7/8" Weigh 8 grams Egg pendant made from same Jeweler size: 7/8"
