Giving it a twirl in this forum

[vibes]

I originally posted this in the jewelry forum and nothin' so thought I'd post it here.

I know it's a Maltese cross but what was it's original purpose and approx. age?

3"

and it looks like brass.

You're right..generic symbols.

Now what person would wear that less than fashionable piece? It must have a purpose other than jewelry...BUT it was found with costume pieces.

Does it feel like White Metal ?

Reminds me of Somthing My
Grandmother brought back from
a Florida Gift shop when I Was a Child.

was on a Heavy White Metal or Aluminum chain

in which case it would be just a souvinear

Nope, no chain. and it figures it's just a silly souvinear. Thanks

Some people have an "Interesting" view of what is tasteful....

But at least his has some serious bling'age goin on

I Can't Believe I Found the One From
my Grandmother So Easily.

is it fairly Light ?

 

[vibes]

yes Jeff, it's fairly light BUT no marks, nothing.

How big is that one? Mine is HUGE and gaudy...it's just a tad bit bigger than 3"

2 3/4 Tall But piece broke off bottom
probably would have made it 3" Tall

probably about 2 1/2 Wide if the AX on the Left wasn't
broke off

With Chain Streched Hanging was 30" Long


No Markings Either

and one one panel there's writing...something "mundis"

 

[jeff of pa]

Omnia munda mundis ?

If it was found in your home state of Indiana, it's most likely a Renaissance Faire souvenir.
