PE-0006A - Small Trade Cross - Charm, Pendant, Rosary, Chaplet, Double Bar Cross of Lorraine
$20.00
Double bar Cross of Lorraine – these little trade crosses were very popular with the indians, especially the Objibwe who traded them for beaver pelts and supplies with the trappers. The Indians prized them and wore them as earrings. The originals were very thin so two were backed together for strength, making sure both original slices, front and back were showing.
This cross is made from an original found at Fort Folle Avoine in Wisconsin. It dates from 1803-1804 at Yellow River, Grand Portage on Lake Superior at the north shore in an undisturbed site. The two trading posts left in 1805 and structures were burned so they could not be used by others. Reference - Two fur trade posts: NORTHWEST CO. and XY COMPANY. (documented by OERICHBAUER, Archaeological studies).
This cross measures 1-1/4 inch long by just over 1/2 inch wide. They will have a ring on them so you can hang them right away on a chain, ribbon, or leather. They come in sterling silver or bronze.
