Identification help needed for a Spanish miniature

[larsb001]

Gentlemen,

I have this beautiful miniature chain in my collection which I believe dates around 1820-30. I can easily identify 3 of the 4 miniature decorations. Despite that they are rather small they are quite accurate, so I assume that the one in question resembles the full-size in all details.

Can anybody help?

This is the full chain, excellent workmanship, Order of Carl III Grand Cross chain:

And this is the miniature that I need help with:

Wow, That?s a hard one. I?ve been looking through a 19th century Spanish medals book, and I can?t find anything like that. During that period there were many different crosses, mainly conmemorative.

Is it hollow? or does it have enamel between the arms?

Hope you?ll get an answer soon.

Regards,

Dolfek.

Hi Dolfek, thanks for your effort so far. The arms are not enamelled, it's openwork gold. The only enamelled parts is the red flames/hearts or whatever it's supposed to be at the end of each arm. The whole cross is only 9 mm wide and the red parts is only 1,5 mm wide so there can be some inaccuracy here.

Regards, Lars

Perhaps a simple item of the Cross for the third Siege of Bilbao (1837) for the liberators?
