Looks somewhat Belgian, but I'm way out of my area there. Certainly nothing I've seen before.

As it says in the auction description its a cross awarded to the Mothers of a dead soldier, I believe they were unofficial pieces and worn to show a Mothers sacrifice for her country. I believe Prussian?? judging by the pin assembly at the rear.
