A great holiday gift idea from Isadora. Silver crosses were among the gifts given to Indian converts during the European colonization of the Americas. They became a trade item with the fur companies; in 1792, one could obtain 2 small crosses for a single medium sized beaver pelt. These were usually Latin or double armed croses. This German replica of one of the more intricate designs. This cross comes with a historical information card.
A collection of crosses created by Byron and Deanne McKeown, created from their historical research on crosses and rosaries worldwide. Cast in sterling silver, gold, vermeil, semi-precious and precious stones, these designs are exclusive to the McKeown Galleries. Cross Culture the book of the McKeown cross collection is available.
