A tabletop crucifix in sterling silver, Dalí-style or surrealist in aesthetic, featuring a stylized, flowing figure of Christ with pronounced organic lines, set on a rectangular base of veined black marble.
This design freely draws inspiration from the famous work of the Catalan painter Salvador Dalí, particularly his three-dimensional approach to the crucifixion where elongated proportions and the suspension of the anatomy defy traditional realism. Jesus' body seems to melt and stretch dramatically, granting dynamism and a distinctly modern, artistic character to a sacred devotion piece.
20x10x4 cm.
Total weight 182 grams.
Some tarnish on the silver oxide. Well preserved.
Carefully packaged for shipment.

El cuerpo de Jesús parece fundirse y estirarse de forma dramática, lo que le otorga dinamismo y un carácter marcadamente moderno y artístico a una pieza de devoción sacra.
