    Not sure what exactly this is other than the fact it's just a small wooden cross that turned up in a car boot sale, but my question regards it's design, is it Celtic- done in the style of ancient Celtic High Crosses or is it Slavic or Eastern European? I'm more actually inclined to think it's Eastern European or Slavic actually because of the little flower design on it's base which isn't really a motif used in many Celtic designs, but if anyone has any other ideas as to where it might be from I'd be happy to hear!
    No marks, names, stamps or anything else on it, and also not sure if it's handmade or not.
    Cost €2 (£2.33/$1.76)
