VINTAGE NEW MEXICO CEREMONIAL TURQUOISE CROSS
A CEREMONIAL TURQUOISE CROSS 5 1/2 inch FROM BASE TO TOP AND 3 3/4 INCHES ACROSS. MADE IN NEW MEXICO. INTERESTING LARGE TURQUOISE CROSS. IT MIGHT BE ALUMINUM OR SOME OTHER SOFT WHITE METAL BUT NOT SILVER. TARNISHED WITH SOME WHITE OXIDATION FROM BEING VINTAGE. THE STONES ARE LARGE 25MM X 18MM VISIBLE AND A BIT BIGGER AS THE SETTINGS OVERLAP THEM. THIS WHOLE CROSS IS PUT TOGETHER VERY NEATLY AND THE STONES ARE NOT SNUG TIGHT BUT LOOSE SO THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY STRESS TO DAMAGE THEM. RIBBON IS ATTACHED FOR HANGING.
THIS IS A CEREMONIAL CROSS AND IT LIKELY JUST WAS STUCK IN A CLAY STAND OR WOOD WHEN THE FAMILY OR SMALL CHURCH ALTAR WAS SET UP. APPEARS TO BE A TRAVELING ALTAR CROSS. THE 1960s ERA.
