EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cross of Victory," a stunning processional cross from the Oviedo Cathedral in Spain, is a magnificent embodiment of Asturian Pre-Romanesque art. This cross, with the accession number 908, was crafted during the reign of King Alfonso III and his queen, Jimena, in the late 9th century. The Cross of Victory is an exquisite work of art, made primarily of oak wood and covered in a layer of gold. The golden exterior is intricately decorated with precious stones, including almandine, garnet, and agate, arranged in the "cloisonné" technique. This technique involves setting the stones into recessed compartments, creating a raised appearance and adding to the cross's visual allure. King Alfonso III and Queen Jimena presented this magnificent gift to the San Salvador de Oviedo Cathedral in Spain. The cross is not only a testament to their wealth and power but also a symbol of their devotion to their faith. The Cross of Victory has been a cherished relic of the cathedral for over a thousand years, standing as a reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of the Asturian people. The Cross of Victory is a unique and captivating piece of jewelry and religious art, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and artistic vision of the Asturian Pre-Romanesque period. Its golden oak wood exterior, adorned with precious stones, continues to dazzle and inspire visitors to the Oviedo Cathedral, making it a must-see attraction for history and art enthusiasts alike.
