[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4839120, member: 111037"]This thread took an unexpected turn.. :angelic: I like the crosses posted, I saw a couple very affordable ones turning up on ma-shops, but I haven't bought any as I am waiting for a really nice example like [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] 's.

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but as others stated it is Virgin Mary with the 4 evangelists which is a pretty common depiction in Orthodox iconography.
