Beaded Cross

4.25x3x.75  

This beaded cross by Betsy Youngquist was embellished with glass beads, glass stones, and porcelain in a mosaic process. The doll face is dirty from being in the ground at the site of a German doll factory in operation from the 1860s through the 1930s. I cleaned the face a bit and put a tad of blush on the cheeks since these photos were taken. Please let me know if you would like a new photo.
There is a sweet and innocent quality to this piece.
