  • Nice one, i have seen raised pieces on tcherots but first time i see it applied on a cross.

    Very nice

  • Thank you Ayis. I bought this 15 years ago from a collector from Germany. I have never seen any others like it for sale.

  • verry nice. the one in the right side is verry unusual and rare. the left one is beautiful too. almost impossible to find on the markt now. have you got it from Klaus  ???

  • Ait, I bought it at the Santa Fe Bead Fest in New Mexico many years ago from a dealer who came from Germany to the U.S. for the show. I am sorry I do not remember his name. He had many old rare crosses. I wish I had bought more.  

  • like the others who wrote before me, I am also impressed by this very special cross with the protruding part. I have never ever seen this before, it looks old and highly interesting. This is really a unique rare piece!! Also like the one at right which is also special. You have a great collection!
