This photo I made to show the detailed etging work of the period around 1910. Workmansdhip so refined and time taking and not seen any more on later work of 1945 and onwards.

as always, wonderful! I recognize the pendants (crosses) and the hand cross...... quite outstanding. What is the big thing with the intricate decorations?

Interesting crosses of superb quality! The hinged one is particularly unusual. The hand cross too, and the sheet are incredible. Thanks for sharing, Ingrid!
