Antique Crucifix - Wood - 1750-1800

This is an ancient carved and polychrome wooden crucifix, depicting Christ on the cross with a perizonium (loincloth) draped and a titulus (board) bearing the inscription “INRI”.

This type of piece, often attributed to folk art or regional schools (such as 17th- or 19th-century European productions or colonial traditions), features a wooden sculpture (walnut, boxwood, pine or fruitwoods) with beautiful polychromy.

• The stigmas and the flows of blood on the flank, hands and legs are represented realistically.
• The Perizonium: The drapery (robe of purity) wrapped around the hips is carved in a voluminous way with deep folds, typical of Baroque religious statuary or traditional folk art.

Dimensions: 70 cm in height and 34 cm in width.
