[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3911843, member: 2844"]It is a 'cross of the south', a Berber symbol. It is often equated with the Southern Cross constellation. These filigree crosses are made a lot in Morocco-Tunisia-Algeria. Yours is not very old, but a nice symbol. The Berbers (including the Tuareg) have several types of cross symbols, often to symbolize the directions and finding your way back home, or introspectively, finding your way to yourself. This cross is one of the favourites.[/QUOTE]
