Medieval Crusaders Era silver cross pattée pendant with integral suspension loop. The cross pattée or Templar cross has arms that are narrow at the centre and are flaring in a curved or straight line to the ends. Linear decorations on the ends of the arms on the front and back. The cross pendant is strung on a modern leather jewellery cord with clasp.

Total length: ± 48 cm
Height: ± 21,2 mm (including suspension loop)
Width: ± 15,3 mm

Condition: good solid condition and wearable (new jewellery cord). Signs of wear consistent with age and use. See images.

The cross pattée is associated with a Crusader order, the Knights Templar, though it was not used consistently. The Templars adopted a red cross on their white robes in 1147, but there was no specific style designated, and different Templars used different versions of cross.
The Teutonic Knights are also associated with this type of cross.

During the first centuries AD, Christian symbols were worshipped and worn in secret. After Christianity was adopted as an official religion (380 AD) the cross became a prominent symbol. It provided comfort and piece in times of troubles, particularly during the Crusades and during the many pandemics that swept over Europe.

To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
