The Kyoto cross is a Christian attribute of an oversized, non-standard shape that does not have an “ear” for a neck lace. As a rule, it was installed in iconostases, special stands, nailed over doors in rooms, and also took on wanderings for the construction of temporary altars. Kyoto crosses can be made of any shape with `interspersed` various biblical subjects. But in the center of the composition of the Kyoto cross there was always an eight-pointed cross with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.Mostly kyoto crosses were made in Pomorie by Guslitsky craftsmen they soldered small icons with various biblical subjects to the main cross, turning the kyoto cross into a work of art.These crosses were made of material that the customer / buyer of this Christian attribute could afford.
