Featured in this lot is a European silver Peasant's Cross, circa 1400-1600. The cross features a wonderfully and professionally crafted silver and sterling silver construction that shows a cross originally crafted from the 1400-1600s and would have been important in some areas as the Mediterranean where Ottoman pirates captured coastal Italian and Balkan villagers who were either sold into slavery in North Africa or ransomed. The condition of this Peasant's Cross is well preserved with a cleaned and restored silver construction to the cross with a modern sterling silver chain. The measurements of this Peasants Cross from clasp to clasp is 21 3/4" and the cross pendant measures 1 1/2" x 1". The collective weight is 7.1g. This cross comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Picardi Jewelers.*
