O soše
Cross, made around 1280–1300, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Pieces of rock crystal are drilled lengthwise and joined on a gold rod. Painted gold bands decorate the connections. Venice was a major centre for cutting this material in the late thirteenth century. The cross was intended to stand prominently on an altar and may also have travelled in religious processions. It once formed part of Saxony's royal treasury and reportedly had belonged first to Rudolf I of Habsburg. On view in room 110A.
Slovy muzea
This cross consists of rock crystal pieces drilled through their centers and fastened together with a golden rod. Where they join, the pieces of crystal are bound with decorative bands of painted gold. Venice was one of the most important centers of rock crystal cutting at the end of the 1200s. The cross was undoubtedly intended for prominent display on an altar and may have also been used in liturgical processions. The cross was at one time in the Royal Treasury of Saxony and purportedly first belonged to Rudolph I of Habsburg (reigned 1273–91).
