Description from the seller
Hand-carved wooden crucifix with Christ crucified – Sacred art piece
Artisanally carved crucifix, composed of a figure of Christ crucified on a large wooden cross with elaborate geometric and ornamental decorations carved by hand.
The piece stands out especially for the wood background carving work. The triangular motifs, radial compositions, ornate edges and the various decorative reliefs are made directly on the wood. The contrast between light and dark areas highlights the relief, depth and richness of the handcrafted work, creating a visually striking whole.
In the center is the figure of Christ crucified, with crown of thorns, loincloth, and the wounds represented in the traditional way.
The cross presents an unconventional silhouette, with widened side arms and a long lower base. The combination of the sculpture of Christ with the elaborate ornamental woodwork gives the piece a distinct personality and a marked devotional character.

* Type: wall-mounted religious crucifix.
