Large Wooden Crucifix with Skull Motifs & Metal Corpus – Gothic Style

Impressive large standing crucifix executed in dark wood with applied metal details.
The cross features a finely cast metal corpus of Christ and distinctive memento mori skull motifs integrated into the shaft, giving the piece a powerful Gothic and devotional presence.

The base is solid and heavy, turned from matching dark wood, allowing the crucifix to stand firmly. Craftsmanship suggests traditional hand-turned elements combined with cast metal ornamentation.

The exact age and originality are not guaranteed; this piece may be a later reproduction, but it is clearly not modern mass production. Its aesthetic, materials, and patina make it an attractive object for collectors of religious art, Gothic décor, or historical interiors.
