Extremely Intricate Old Folded Paper Cross

Regular price $75.00

I've had a couple of small antique woven paper crosses, but I've never had, nor seen, such an intricate and also three-dimensional one as this--a very Froebel-esque combination of paper weaving and paper folding, composed of very thinly cut strips of good weight paper colored on one side. Really quite amazing, and seems to me it may indeed be the work of a very dexterous, patient, high achieving kindergarten teacher, late 19th/very early 20th century, an A+++ achievement. 

6 7/8" x 4 7/8" and in very good antique condition, no losses, bright and crisp and not fragile.
