On this two-inch casting the corpus hangs in deep relief with the head inclined and the body drawn to one side, and a winged figure crowns the top of the cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlavonic abbreviations are cast around the figure. \u003cstrong\u003eІС ХС\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ancient contraction for \u003cem\u003eJesus Christ\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eНИ КА\u003c\/strong\u003e, Greek in origin, means \u003cem\u003econquers\u003c\/em\u003e: Jesus Christ Conquers, the formula that has stood on crosses of this kind for a thousand years.
