Beaded Cross with Doll Head by Betsy Youngquist

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.
 
These "Humpty Dumpty" pieces remind us that silver linings come when things are broken.
