A Powerful Symbol Forged from History and Courage
This extraordinary Historical Body Cross is cast in brass reclaimed from used military cartridges, gathered from the active battlefields of Sumy Region, Ukraine.
It is a faithful replica of the iconic Kiev-Type Body Cross worn between the 10th and 14th centuries, a style deeply rooted in Kyivan Rus, Byzantine, and Viking Age heritage.
Both sides of the cross proudly feature blue and yellow enamel—the colors of the Ukrainian flag—a modern symbol of resistance layered onto an ancient form of spiritual and cultural identity.
Authenticity, Craftsmanship, and Cultural Pride
Each pendant is handmade using medieval techniques, such as the lost wax casting process, just as it would have been a thousand years ago in Kyiv. This ensures not only historical authenticity, but also a deeply personal touch—no two pieces are exactly alike.
