Artist, American, 1913 - 2002

The image shows two cross pendants against a light beige background. The left cross is ornate with a central circular design and patterns on its arms. The right cross is simpler with a smooth surface and angular edges. Both crosses have a gold color scheme, with the left cross potentially also having silver or white accents due to reflective properties. The crosses are centered in the lower half of the image, with the ornate cross slightly to the left and the simpler cross to the right. The artist's signature, "V. Van Verk," is in the bottom right corner.
