Silver-gilt pendant of the Crucifixion, with a hanging pearl, Germany, late 15th century. Pendant depicting The Crucifixion. Christ is figured hanging on a tree with lopped branches, with a titulus inscribed 'INRI'. Two of its lower boughs form loops and link the figures of the Virgin and St. John. A skull for Golgotha is set at the junction of the curving of the arms on which they stand. From a loop below hangs a ring of naturalistic plant stem, from which issues a setting of asymmetrical scrolling cutwork foliage holding a baroque pearl.  Silver-gilt and pearl.
