This enamel and silver cross features a central square depicting a white lamb with a golden halo. Four additional panels at the ends of the arms show kneeling winged figures. Intricate geometric patterns of blue, turquoise, and white diamonds decorate the segments between these scenes. These vibrant enamel panels are set against blue backgrounds and framed by dark wood. The entire piece stands vertically on a stepped, dark brown wooden base.
