Russian Cross taken from a house in the rear of the Redan, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Russian Cross taken from a house in the rear of the Redan, 1856. Booty from the Crimean War. This interesting specimen of ecclesiastical art is in the possession of Captain Green, of the steam-ship Bahiana. It was taken from a house in the rear of the Redan, and was carried by a priest (as our informant states) at the head of a relief party, to that work and the Malakoff. The Cross
is about seven feet six inches high: it is carved and decorated with no
mean skill, although it has evidence of frequent and long use. It was
carried apparently much as our own ensigns are, bearing marks of the hands
and the leather strap with which the bottom was secured'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing artifact, a Russian Cross taken from a house in the rear of the Redan during the Crimean War, is now in the possession of Captain Green of the steam-ship Bahiana. The Cross, which measures approximately seven feet six inches in height, is a fine example of Russian ecclesiastical art. It is intricately carved and decorated with no mean skill, displaying evidence of frequent and long use. According to our informant, this Cross was carried by a priest at the head of a relief party to the Redan and the Malakoff. The double-headed eagle atop the Cross, a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, adds to its historical significance. This rare relic, now a prized possession, offers a glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of Russia during the 19th century. The Cross bears marks of the hands and a leather strap that were used to secure it, adding to its authenticity. This image was published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, providing a window into the past and the spoils of war.
