At the heart of old ethnic Southwestern traditions, we find the Cross. Some of these crosses are traditionally European, some reflect the region itself and some are beautifully Primitive. All our handcrafted, cross ornaments are original to us but honor this antiquity. Our handworked, coppery-textured, tin serves as the format for the entire collection.
