Hi,

The crucifix looks like it is probably a  Reliquary, initially intended to hold the relics of a saint, or two. It is difficult to tell from the photos, but it might be that some of these medallions, and maybe the crucifix,  were picked up on a trip to Rome. One seems to be of St Peter's Basilica.
Age? Value? Not a clue, I'm afraid. Any markings at all suggesting what metal they are fashioned from?

Thanks for the bit of info. Do you by chance know of anyone that may know a bit more? Or another forum? The crucifix only has 8C..and its pretty tiny so I think thats what it says.

Hello Everyone,
I came across some religious medals a couple of years ago and just discovered them again in my recent move. They are very unique (to me atleast!). I have researched them and really haven't found anything on these exact medals. I also have a cross that opens. I have never seen anything like it. I just wanted to find out about them.

Last night I took some shots of them..if needed I can do individuals of the medals. Any info is greatly appreciated!
