Sterling Silver Cross Crucifix of the Four Evangelists – Early 20th Century Religious Artifact

A Rare Sterling Silver Crucifix Representing the Four Evangelists
This Sterling Silver Cross Crucifix of the Four Evangelists is a remarkable early 20th-century religious artifact crafted in solid sterling silver and preserved in its original leather presentation box.

It is not simply a crucifix.

It is a powerful symbolic representation of the four Gospel writers of Christianity—each depicted through their traditional artistic symbols.

• St. Matthew represented as the winged man
• St. Mark represented as the winged lion
• St. Luke represented as the winged ox
• St. John represented as the rising eagle

These symbols have been used in Christian art for centuries and are deeply rooted in biblical tradition.

What makes this particular piece extraordinary is the combination of historical symbolism, sterling silver craftsmanship, large size, and exceptional preservation.

It is an artifact that feels both spiritual and sculptural at the same time.
