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
