Two-Part Orthodox Crucifixion Locket-Style Cross Pendant

Description

This two-part Orthodox cross pendant features a high-relief Corpus Christi on the front panel, framed by raised plaques with the traditional inscriptions ІС ХС, ЦРЬ СЛВЫ, and НИКА. The reverse panel is engraved with the Cyrillic prayer "СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ" (Save and Protect) and small stylized cross emblems. Both components have beveled edges, and the cross arms are terminated with spherical caps. The digital model is structured as a two-piece assembly, enabling the 3D printing of patterns for investment casting to create the final hollow-form locket-style pendant.
