As the pieces were sometimes associated with workers in the mining and construction industries, some of the tools reflect these communities. On part of the cross can be found the name A Walker Aug 9 1916. The piece has its original cork. - Religious Piece - Named 'A Walker' - Irish Folk Art - Original Cork Age: 1916 Material: Glass Origin: Irish Height: 31cm Depth: 8cm Width: 8cm Newark Antiques & Interiors, Kelham Rd, Newark NG24 1BX Opening hours: Mon - Fri 8.30 - 17.00 Sat/Sun 10.00 - 16.00
