Very cool!

What is it made of - copper?

 

[Felinepeachy]

I really don't know. Since it's not silver or gold, it could be anything.

It looks like a Crucifix from the 1700's to the early 1800's during
Spanish Colonial times that was part of a Rosary

Keyshunter is on a track and has very good eyes. Celtic? Probably not in my opinion, but that cross looks like it was definately inlaid with another material.

That is a stunning find.

"On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown."

 

[Felinepeachy]

Amen to that! One of my favorite songs.

Love that cross
