Abstract
- The crucifix is composed of a metal base, bullet cross, image of Jesus, and crest. Two bullets soldered together end to end form the vertical part of the cross, while two more bullet projectiles are soldered to each side near the top to form the horizontal part. The pointed end of the bottom bullet fits into a whole at the center of the metal base, which is circular and cut into a scalloped pattern around the edges. The base has stamped abstract fleur-de-lis and leaf patterns, as well as berries. The image of Jesus, including a halo, has been stamped out of a thin piece of metal. Above this image is a crest, with a crown bearing the inscription "VERDUN" above a shield with a castle and grenade. Below the shield is a small flower, and a curved shape with leaves meant to be a wreath with another "VERDUN" inscription and stars. Both the crest and image of Jesus have been soldered to the cross.
