<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 335182, member: 2844&quot;]The style is pretty general Gothic Revival.</p><p>There are two male saints who are depicted with a chalice and a spider. The Dutch st Norbert and the German st Conrad. The legend is the same for both of them, it is not for the squeamish or arachnophobic:</p><p>During mass, after the consecration of the wine, a spider lowered itself into the chalice. Because the wine was already consecrated, the saint did not want to throw it away, so he drank the wine with the spider in it. After mass the spider came walking out without a scratch, in the story of Norbert through his nose, in the story of Conrad through his mouth.</p><p>This means the crucifix is probably Dutch or German. Since there are no Dutch marks, my guess is German, and not very old.</p><p>The other saints are:</p><p>Keys - Peter</p><p>St Andrews cross - Andrew</p><p>Quill and book - Matthew (who can also be depicted with the angel who inspired him to write the gospel)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
