Description
English: Lombard gold foil cross from the Campo San Giovanni in Leno
  • Province of Brescia, Region Lombardia, Italy

The "Campo San Giovanni" site is located just a few hundred meters southeast of the monastery of San Salvatore and San Benedetto founded in the mid-8th century. The ruins visible to this day mark the spot of the church San Giovanni Battista consecrated ca. 800. In the environs of the church, 90 burials dating to the first half of the 7th century have been excavated to date.

Grave 10 (a man's grave of the 7th century):
Gold leaf cross. Both arms of the cross show the impression of the same mold. The motif consists of curved tendrils with blossoms and leaves.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from Milan, Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Lombardia, Nucleo operativo di Brescia.

Im Umfeld der Kirche konnten bisher 90 Bestattungen aufgedeckt werden, die alle in der ersten Hälfte des 7. Jahrhunderts datieren.
