[Bonetools] bone cross pendant

[T + M Tielens]

Hello David,

Because last week I was making the pendant above, the bone cross pendant in
your first email I was looking carefully to your picture. I would like to
know what the thickness is of the cross in the middle and how big is the
hole in the pendant (is there one?).
I know of a bone cross found in Belgium in Mechelen and that is used in a
rosary. Please look at my website www.bikkelenbeen.com in the religion part
and then rosary or paternoster. It is found in a 15th century setting.
Thank you for help already.

Greetings Monica Tielens
