Horseshoe-shaped cross shield

The horse-eye-shaped sterling silver base resembles a shield fragment tempered by purgatorial flames. At its center, a cross stands with edges as sharp as Gothic spires, crafted through a relief effect that tears through the silver surface. The relief is etched with dark patterns of thorns intertwined, Each groove resembles a confession book repeatedly polished by a prisoner's nails, seeping a cold, sacred mark through its matte texture.
