They look beautiful, old and authentic. What materials are the black ones made of? Stone or Wood?
and the big one in front, is it a pendant or a processing cross?
Lovely arrangement of some real beauties!
Thank you Eva and Toya!
The back ones are some simple - vintage and contemporary- stone crosses. I just added them for the sake of variety. The large granulated one is also a pectoral cross (but no longer mine) which id "upside down" in the picture.
hi Betty, thanks for the answer, I really had no idea.They look nice and as you say, add to diversity and are interesting. The large pectoral cross Looks very dainty, a style a bit like some of my hairpins. I have not seen one like this before, or if I have, I cannot recall.
Lovely collectie Betty, also the slate crosses are sweet. They all are good quality ones. A good thing you sold the bottom ,upside down one. I know these crosses, they are product of the 1960.
