Antique white onyx cross with enameled bronze metal cross and Holy water font.
The enamel work is stunning. It shows the Christogram in the centre. The rest of the cross is covered with a beautiful and very ornate floral design. 
All the large flowers are different and are very unusual.
There are some small imperfections, cracks and wear on the enamel has can be seen in the close up photographs. The colours are still very vivid.
The white enamel is damaged inside the receptacle. The enamel is more worn and the colour less vivid on the stoup.
The metal shows some signs of age and use. The gilt has gone in places and lost its shine. There are small stains and tarnish.
The onyx cross is slightly translucent. It has some scratches, chips at the edges and small stains. 
The surface is a bit damaged and the shine is gone in places. This is only visible in certain lights or angles as seen in the last photograph.
The back was once covered with paper but that was partly removed. There is strong loop at the back so the cross can be displayed on a wall. As the paper is gone, the hole in the onyx to link the metal cross to the back loop is visible. Everything still holds well and the loop doesn't move despite the larger hole.
It is a beautiful object that would look fantastic in a home altar!
Size: 20.5 x 12.9 cm / 7.87 x 4.72 inches
