1 7/8" Rare Yalalag Cross (47.6 mm) – Antique Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This Rare Yalalag Cross measures approximately 1 7/8 inches (47.6 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, masterfully recreated in sterling silver or gold bronze. It preserves the intricate character and cultural significance of the original artifact.

The piece is a Yalalag Cross, a traditional form originating from the village of Yalalag in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features a Latin cross structure with three large suspension loops: one at the top and one at the end of each horizontal arm, allowing it to be worn alone or integrated into a larger necklace. The surface is richly textured with engraved designs resembling wrapped fabric or ceremonial bundles, and the lower extension bears intricate scrollwork and symbolic patterns, adding depth and meaning to the piece.

This type of cross belongs to the tradition of Mexican colonial religious art, influenced by Spanish missionary designs blended with indigenous craftsmanship. Yalalag crosses were deeply symbolic, representing both Catholic faith and local cultural identity, often worn during festivals and important ceremonies.

This Rare Yalalag Cross is ideal for wearing as a striking pendant, incorporating into traditional jewelry, or preserving as a piece of cultural heritage. It embodies a powerful blend of devotion, artistry, and history.

Its Mexican folk art cross design reflects a living tradition where sacred symbolism and artistic expression are beautifully intertwined.
