A three-leaved cross made of wood with a brass-plate coating. Decorated with ornamentation in the form of a plant wreath. A cast figure of Christ crucified on the front, the enthroned Christ on the reverse. On the three-leaved endings of the cross’ beams are medallions depicting the four Gospel authors angels and saints.

It has its origins in 14th century Italy or Spain, and reached the museum along with part of Bruno Konczakowski’s collection.

A crucifix had to be placed on an altar during mass, in accordance with the rules set out by Pope Innocent III. Sometimes they were removed from their bases and fixed in wood to be used during processions.
