I got this odd shaped cross and I don't know what kind of cross it is or what the hallmark reads. Any amount of information on it would be greatly appreciated!

It's really hard to see the full marks. Can you edit your post and add a photo of the cross, at a vertical angle, against a light, neutral color background?
Ok, The pics I'm going to upload are the best that I can get. It's just so hard for me to decipher these marks. I almost can see a picture right in the middle of something. Thank you for helping!
I can see a picture there, too. However, the reason for photographing the cross against a pale, neutral background (not this table) is to do a Google Image search. Only need one photo like that. The cross must be vertical.
Your close up photos are great. The problem is figuring out the gol darn mark, lol!
I know what the image is - it's SKELETON! No kidding.
Ok I added a vertical photo of the cross, for some reason, all of my photos come up turned. I thought it was a skeleton too but I didn't want to sound like a weirdo. I thought it looked like ST (skeleton) TM Or TH. Really Creepy. Thank you for being so helpful Efesgirl!!!
I was reading about the Ankh symbol and it almost reminds me of an upside down ankh. Makes me wonder if it's some type of devil worshiping jewelry. I could be completely wrong but with that skeleton on it, it's really odd!!
I thought the same thing - a sort of upside down ankh. Here is a page with cross variants. The closest one I can find, design-wise, on the page is the Rose Cross. It has a triangle on the bottom.
