Blue and Gold Antique Finely Woven Paper Cross Dorman hardware storage where it might become somethingI'd never seen a woven paper cross until this summer, when I found one in Pennsylvania, and now, here, another, in just the right cobalt blue and gold, making me think of Giotto's Assisi frescoes! Beautifully done, with those wonderful thorn like flags at the end of each thin strip of paper. Lovely. 3 1 2" x 2 7 8". Very good condition on both sides.
