This Byzantine Mosaic Cross, crafted in Florence, Italy shows the artistry of Italian artisans. Utilizing a traditional Florentine technique, the artisans meticulously cut thin slices of Murano glass and carefully place each piece into the gold-plated cross.
The art and technique of Byzantine mosaics, which originated in Ravenna, Italy in the early 5th century, have remained unchanged through the centuries. This intricate process experienced a revival in the 19th century in Florence. Each thread of enameled glass is cut and attached to form unique and distinctive designs. The creation of Byzantine mosaics is a painstaking process, now undertaken by a diminishing number of expert craftspersons.
