Description from the seller

Altar crucifix in deer antler wood, brass and silver – Rolf-Wolfgang Formans – 1986

Original altar crucifix of Germanic tradition, made in 1986 by master goldsmith Rolf-Wolfgang Formans, combining deer antler wood, brass, and decorative silver elements.

The cross, made of natural deer antler wood framed with brass, features at its center a remarkable silver deer head with spread antlers, surrounding a green cabochon.

The whole is enriched with delicate silver oak leaves, hunting motifs, and a shaft in carved deer antler wood.

The polished circular brass base, accented by a vegetal frieze, bears the engraved inscriptions “St. Eustachius” and “St. Hubertus,” referring to Saint Eustace and Saint Hubert, two saints traditionally associated with hunting and the appearance of the deer bearing the cross.

An original piece of goldsmithing, uniting religious symbolism and hunting art.

Goldsmith: Rolf-Wolfgang Formans, maker’s mark.
Materials: deer antler wood, brass, silver mounts and green cabochon.
