Re: East Indian Cross
The clasp is a spring ring which wasnt invented to the early 1900's.
I have some red flags thrown up with this piece.
Christianity is only approximately 2.5% of the religions in India.
The rope braiding looks to modern to me.
The style is more modern then late 19 to early 20 century.
If you have more pictures and perhaps hallmarks or anything to indicate origins. Please add some more pictures of back etc ,, I would be most happy to investigate further.
Kindest Regards ..
