While the example shown is an obvious reproduction... there certainly was a Next of kin Spanish Cross worn from a ribbon.... which this is "trying to be"..... originals are of bronze and have many differances in quality and details.... and are very rare.

You say "so small" but don't give us any scale to judge.... obviously a version meant to be worn on the "chest" (a "medal" as opposed to a "breast Star") would be smaller in size..... and there are also mini-sized versions and "chain hangers" that could be possibilities.

It certainly matters to anyone interested in learning about this stuff!.... instead of depending on others to share their knowledge/expertise at NO CHARGE, with the potential to either "Save you" alot of money or "Make you" alot of money (or the artifact itself)... anyone with such little appreciation for the efforts of others needs to work on their "peoples skills".....
