Protective silver hallmark, with a cross mark, starting from the 5th assay standard
About this piece
This small silver cross pendant carries the distinctive hallmark of the fifth assay standard — a protective charm steeped in Russian Orthodox tradition. The piece is cast in solid silver with a textured, slightly matte finish that speaks to its age and authentic wear.
The cross features rounded lobes at each terminus, a classic proportional form, and hangs from a simple loop bail. Along the lower stem, Cyrillic lettering is visible, stamped into the metal. The finish shows pleasing patina consistent with vintage silver, with slight darkening in the recesses that lends character rather than detracting from its presence. This is a straightforward devotional pendant, modest in scale but dignified in execution — ideal for threading onto a chain or cord.
