Silver Celtic Cross?

[HenryWaltonJonesJr]

Dirt find, about 4in deep, I thought it was some sort of round trash with the high jumpy tone, but this is not trash!

Is this a Celtic design? Any info on this?

It's marked 925 and is that a copyright symbol and then 58 as in 1958? Or it could be SE.

Thanks for looking!

Nice pendant! Kind of strange how all four sides are the same size.

Good point, not really a crucifix...will have to do some research. Thanks everyone!

This is not particularly Celtic in design - as to the length of the vertical and horizontal arms being equal , this is more the "Greek cross"
concept -( as opposed to the "Latin cross" , also referred to as the"Cross of Jesus" with the longer vertical aspect ). Nice Find .
.925 is your sterling silver designation. For some typical examples of "Celtic" crosses look at some Google images of early Irish and
Scottish church yards /graveyards - you'll see the heavy carved stone crosses dating back a thousand years in some cases .

I see generally Celt crosses have a circle within them. It was the interweaving design that spoke Celtic to me. Thanks for the info!

Pretty item there, some good craftsmanship !

I do see kind of a trefoil design at the end of each transcept- which is seen in Celtic design.
