Portugal - Order of Christ
A magnificent late 18th century badge of the order in silver set entirely with pastes, circa 1780. Measurements 128mm (including suspension) x 58mm.
See Spada "Honori et Glorie" for similar examples. It is possible that due to the size and style of this badge that it was made for an officer of the order rather than a Knight
