Medieval (?) Pectoral Cross, Silver (Byzantine/Viking/Ethiopian(?))

Post by AnalogReigns »

Here's an eBay find. Apparently was in a pawn shop. Sold as "Medieval Knight's Templar" cross (but I didn't pay that much for it).

Byzantine? Ethiopian? Viking? Norman? Medieval or modern?

(The rings at the top are not original, were just added by a jeweler.)

Appears to be solid sterling silver.

Ladder etching on each arm, with Pattée Cross in the center. Bee-hive-type knobs on the ends (making me think Byzantine). Crudely done, making me think either medieval, or, Ethiopian.

Any one have any idea who, or what site, may positively identify this cross' origins?

I did embed them, first post. They did not show up, however. Flickr.com doesn't work here?
