Crusader cross pendant (tatzen cross), medieval, bronze

Product description

This amulet in the shape of a Tatzen cross is reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, who carried this cross into battle as a sign of their faith.

The Tatzen cross came in different forms, with the common feature being four arms that point from the center to the four cardinal directions and are wider at the ends than at the core. In the Middle Ages it was worn by the crusader orders of the Templars, the Maltese and the Johannines, among others, and it can still be found in their current coats of arms.

A powerful symbol for those who want to depict the medieval knightly orders.
