    Looks old. Maybe Byzantine era, if it's real. Very neat looking. I like how the gems are mounted in an ancient or early medieval style.



    Can't tell you much else.



    You could try posting it on the forumancientcoins.com message boards. Someone there might know.

    It looks like it could be a Templar Cross on the reverse. Kool piece. Keep me in mind when you want to sell it. Can you provide a size and weight for this piece. image

    Fascinating piece. I would be interested in hearing the outcome of any threads on other forums.

    Looks like an owl on one side.

    It is indeed a Icon of our Christ God, seated on a throne, with the book of holy scripture while giving blessing. It may be the Icon of Judgement, but I can't see enough detail to say. Also the jewels at the bottom have me stumped.

    If there is a Greek Orthodox Church around, You can take it to the priest and he very well could tell you.

    It is quite lovely, and if ever you should part with it I would be interested.
