1 3/8" African Templar Cross Pendant Antique Vintage Model CR155

1 3/8" African Templar Cross (34.93 mm) – Antique Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This African Templar Cross measures approximately 1 3/8 inches (34.93 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, carefully recreated in sterling silver or gold bronze. It captures the bold and noble simplicity of traditional African Christian craftsmanship influenced by ancient knightly symbols.

The piece is a variation of the Maltese Cross, featuring four equal-length arms that flare broadly at the ends and narrow toward the center. The arms are rounded and full, giving the cross a substantial, sculptural appearance while maintaining a perfectly balanced and symmetrical form. A small raised dot marks the intersection at the center, adding a touch of artisanal character.

The style is associated with traditional Ethiopian and North African Christian art, where forms derived from early crusader and Templar crosses were adapted into regional expressions of faith and resilience. The strong, elemental lines of the cross echo a fusion of medieval European influences and indigenous African sacred artistry.

This African Templar Cross is ideal for wearing as a striking pendant, incorporating into ceremonial or devotional jewelry, or treasuring as a symbolic link to ancient traditions of faith, courage, and spiritual endurance.

Its African Maltese cross design reflects a proud heritage where spirituality, craftsmanship, and noble ideals converge.
