Very rare 16/17thC Japanese Iron Cross with Buddha. I've owned 3 of these over 25 years, and seen one other at auction. I've been told they were used by early Japanese Christians, as they were persecuted by the Shoguns, and wanted to show that they still respected the Buddha. 9.75" tall, 7.75" wide, approximately .5" at deepest point.
