Following the first crusade, a
Hospitaller Order which as a
Christian Order had adopted a
simple form of the Cross (the
Greek cross). This Order
based in Jerusalem took on a
military wing to defend
Christians, and as the Order
developed, its hitherto plain
cross became more ornate in
form. Specifically this is how
the Cross today known as the
Maltese Cross began its
development. This Sterling old
cross is 2" tall and has
elaborate victorian designs all
the way down to the little nails
that protrude out of it on each
of the four larger corners. This
is in excellent condition and is
marked sterling on the back.
