A gold enamel cross features a central square depicting the Adoration of the Magi, where the Virgin Mary holds Christ as three kings approach. Each arm contains a smaller panel showing a symbolic figure: a white dove at the top, a stalk of grain on the right, a chalice at the bottom, and a book on the left. Vibrant purple, red, and blue enamel fill the gold sections under a hanging loop.
