A Roman revival grand tour pendant with Maltese cross. An exceptional historical piece, created in the Victorian Grand Tour era in Rome Italy during the Papal States period, back in the 1850. It was carefully crafted with Roman-Etruscan revival patterns in solid rich yellow gold of 18 karats and embellished in the obverse with an intricate micro mosaic of a Maltese crusaders cross. In the reverse in high relief is the name of the city ROMA. The round gold frame is decorated with a patterns of twisted wires and fitted on top with an oval bail to wear in a chain or necklace. The micro mosaic is very well executed, of Italian origin and made in Rome. It was created in the shape of a crusaders Maltese cross, from more than six hundred tiny pieces, carved from natural stones, such as; blue lapis lazuli, red coral, black onyx, green malachite, black onyx and creme nacre. The Maltese cross is a cross symbol, consisting of four "V" or arrowhead shaped concave quadrilaterals converging at a central vertex at right angles, two tips pointing outward symmetrically. It is a heraldic cross variant which developed from earlier forms of eight-pointed crosses in the 16th century. Although chiefly associated with the Knights Hospitaller (Order of St. John, now the Sovereign Military Order of Malta), and by extension with the island of Malta, it has come to be used by a wide array of entities since the early modern period, notably the Order of Saint Stephen, the city of Amalfi, the Polish Order of the White Eagle (1709), the Prussian order Pour le Mérite (1740), and the Bavarian Military Merit Order (1866).
