A pic is too small. It seems to be AGNUS DEI

Sorry. now better. Letters are AD EH.

Looks masonic to me, very similar in style to the Swedish Order of Carl XIII.

AD - Agnus Dei, EH - Ecce Homo. But is it possible such slogan on the Masonic badge ?

Well, I have looked and looked. Something about the construction and lettering whisper "Russian" to me. I am positive I have seen that lamb with cross motif before , beyond Scottish family crests etc. before. Whatever it is, I would LOVE to have this one in hand. From its appearance it is light, indeed maybe even 14K gold and the enamel work is old......my guess is 1850s or so.

I think it's Swedish. But I can't remember what it is. Church or masonic award from the island of Gotland.

Many thanks and Merry Christmas !

It's a masonic neck cross of the 'Timmerman Order'. The TO is a swedish privat circle of Christians.

So I was 50% correct Strange that it's always these Swedish masonic "bling-bling" that comes up on internet forums.
