Any meaning (that you know of) to the symbols of the domes/circles? I like the Christmas tree backgound.
@Chantal, thanks, no I know no further symbolic meaning......... (the Christmas tree is outside in the garden).
Good, it means no snow then?
@ Chantal : No, the snow has all melted again.......... it is rainy now. About the symbolic - the middle pin has a top resembling an Ethiopian cross without middle bar... but I have no idea. I like the part looking like a silverthread wound around like a spindle.
A circle symbolizing eternity like in some Moroccan pendant? or not?
@Chantal, sorry, I have no idea.......... I thought it was perhaps a Christian symbol taken fron the crosses of Ethiopia---- but I do not know, I might be completely wrong here.
@Sarah or Patti, thanks for the feature!
