This sculpture called Star and Cross Tiles by the Denman Waldo Ross Collection in 1907 is really unique and interesting because of all the details. It looks like a sculpture that a Christian church might have because of the crosses that represent Jesus dying on the cross. All of the stars have that same design as do all of the crosses have the same as well. The sculpture looks fairly new because there is no dirt on it and there are barely, if any, chips on it.

I love the details in the stars because of how they have faces or swirls and the crosses are zig zag or a whole bunch of different line designs and shapes the faces in the stars are so detailed you can see each of the little facial features included in the design. The stars are a little less detailed but are still very unique and wonderful. If you ever look in a Christian church and see all the glass painted window, this sculpture reminds me a lot of those windows. I love how the colors and designs all match together and make the very old sculpture look almost as good as brand new.
