This book is a guide to pre-Romanesque art, focusing on goldsmithing. It explores the Cruz de los Ángeles, the Cruz de la Victoria, and the Caja de las Ágatas, prominent medieval works located in the Cámara Santa of Oviedo Cathedral. These pieces were damaged in 1934 and 1977. The Cruz de los Ángeles, created in the year 808 under the reign of Alfonso II, symbolizes the permanence of the kingdom. The later Cruz de la Victoria is mentioned in the will of Alfonso III. Finally, the Caja de las Ágatas, donated by Fruela II, is a cypress wood reliquary covered in gold and stones.
