About this object

Body is a gold cross in red enamel with a gold border. Between the arms of the cross are scrolls set with diamonds. On obverse in center is the imperial double headed eagle in black enamel on a matte gold ground. On reverse in center is a monogram. Badge was awarded with diamonds to one who was not a member of the Orthodox church since it does not have the figure of the saint on front.
