| Reverse description | A patriarchal cross — distinguished by its double traverse arms — mounted on a stepped or arcaded pedestal, flanked on either side by a stylized palm frond and a star in the field. The composition evokes the iconography of the True Cross and Jerusalem's sacred topography. The design is rendered in low relief with bold, schematic lines consistent with hammered billon production. No legend appears on the reverse, leaving the field largely open around the central device. The overall arrangement is symmetrical, lending the type a hieratic, devotional character appropriate to crusader religious imagery. |
