Cross with Saint Mary Saint John and Guardian Angel

Description

A two-part Eastern Orthodox cross pendant features a high-relief Crucifixion scene on the obverse and a Guardian Angel on the reverse. The main cross body serves as a frame, with Cyrillic inscriptions filling the background fields around the central figural element. An articulated bail, also inscribed, provides a 6.39 mm clearance for a chain. This digital model is designed for a multi-part investment casting workflow, where the separate components are 3D printed, cast, and then assembled to achieve the final layered depth. The overall thickness of the assembled pendant is 6.04 mm.
