The Reliquary Cross is a late 10th-century Anglo-Saxon ivory figure of Christ, set on an earlier Ottonian cross to make a reliquary in the form of a crucifix. It is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London (Cat. 7943-1862, usually on display in room 8, case 16, in the "Medieval and Renaissance" gallery).

  • Das Reliquienkreuz ist eine "Reliquienmonstranz" aus dem 10. Jahrhundert aus England. Das aus Zedernholz gefertigte Kruzifix ist mit kunstvoll verziertem Goldblech überzogen. Auf ihm ist eine Christusfigur aus Walrosszahn angebracht. Das Kreuz ist 18,5 Zentimeter groß und enthielt einen weiblichen Zeigefinger. Der Entstehungsort ist unbekannt. Das Kreuz wurde wahrscheinlich im England des 10. Jahrhunderts gefertigt und ist eines der wenigen erhaltenen Zeugnisse angelsächsischer Kunst vor der normannischen Eroberung. Die Goldbearbeitung weist deutliche deutsch-ottonische Einflüsse auf. Die Christusfigur ist angelsächsisch mit Ähnlichkeiten zum "Winchester-Stil". Heute befindet es sich im Victoria and Albert Museum in London. (de)
  • The Reliquary Cross is a late 10th-century Anglo-Saxon ivory figure of Christ, set on an earlier Ottonian cross to make a reliquary in the form of a crucifix. It is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London (Cat. 7943-1862, usually on display in room 8, case 16, in the "Medieval and Renaissance" gallery). The cross is made of cedar wood and covered with plates of gold filigree work. The corpus or figure of Christ, was probably made in Winchester, and is in walrus ivory; the titulus and medallions are in cloisonné enamel, and apparently also English. The body of the reliquary, because of a technical "trick" in the gold filigree, is thought to be German, around the same date, probably from the area of Aachen and Essen. The V&A says "the cross is one of the rare surviving pieces which give substance to descriptions in contemporary documentary sources of the sumptuous church furnishings of pre-Conquest England. The enamels are unique in Anglo-Saxon art and may have been made by an English goldsmith familiar with German work. The wood core of the cross was perhaps regarded as a relic of the True Cross. It is most unlikely because of its size and weight, that it was made to be worn as a pectoral cross and more probable that the suspension loop allowed it to hang above an altar or shrine." (en)
