metal cross
Steel religious symbol
A metal cross is a cross made from metal—iron, steel, bronze, or precious metals—rather than wood or stone.
Metal crosses appear as religious symbols in churches, cemeteries, and jewelry, and as military decorations: He wore the Iron Cross on his uniform.
The material often signals permanence or formality compared to simpler wooden crosses.
