Jerusalem Cross - Five Fold Cross or Crusaders Cross

Five-Fold Cross, also known as Crusaders' or Five-fold Cross. This Heraldic or Christian symbol consists of a large cross surrounded by four smaller Greek crosses, one in each quadrant. The symbolism of the five-fold cross is, variously, given as the five wounds of Christ, Christ and the four quarters of the world, Christ and the four evangelists. This pendant was handcrafted from a French wax seal dating to the late 1700’s.
