Object Description
Ornamental beaded handicraft that depicts a gold cross on a beige cardboard background with a sprig of green leaves on the left and a simulated flag of purple and white on the right with cross intertwined with gold tassel. The handicraft is in a gold frame.
Origin
This ornamental beaded handicraft came from Amaliada, Greece. It was given to Agetty Kourtis in 1919 by her mother, Vasiliki Kourtis (March 1893-October 1971) to finish.

Amaliada is a town in Northwestern Elis, West Greece, Greece. Amaliada was named after Queen Amalia of Greece in the 1830s, and formed by merging two communes, Kalitsa and Dervitselepi. It features a city square with beautiful pine trees and a fountain.
