Crusades (1050-1250 AD).
Cross of silver.
According to the habit of the roman age Jesus Christ is shown as ruler of the world with a crown on his head. The cross became a religious symbol in Denmark at the time Christianity became the state religion. In this period it was not uncommon that the Thorshammer and the cross were worn side by side on one chain, for extra protection.
