🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Cross help

[pepperj]

Found this cross yesterday at a permission
I haven't any idea of age, or what religion it's associated with.
Any help would be appreciated.
I like to give it to the family's son as he's really into putting crosses up on the property and this was from his tree farm section.
Those coins are LCs for size reference.
Best I could get details up on the cross.

Hey pepper I’m fairly sure that the religion it is connected to is Catholic.

 

[Almy]

Roman Catholic is my impression too. I wonder what the point on the top is for.

Yes, I believe that too. I’d guess Roman Catholic origin.

Hello! This is of course Roman Catholic and I can say with certainty that it is over 225 years old or so. The loop on the top being perpendicular to the plane of the medallion/cross’s face is a sign of 18th century and earlier age. By the 19th century the loop was set parallel to the plane of the medal’s surface (and has been so ever since).

Agreed, 18th C RC.
