At 2 1/2" long with solid weight and feel, this is a longer cross which is also uniquely Detailed on BOTH SIDES of the piece.
This miniature replica of the famous crosses of Iona Abbey on a small but important island off the coast of West Scotland that was one of the "think tanks" of Christanity at the time is was an active spiritual center. The Viking raids here were numerous, and the operatioins of the church were moved to Kells Ireland, where it was safer to practice their faith. The Iona Abbey has been faithfully restored as a beautiful museum, and I have decided to enable two of these from this sacred place into my line of crosses. See also the Saint John's Cross from Iona as well.
