About: This impressively scaled, handmade, chip carved crucifix form is finished in gold paint on solid wood plinth base. The layers of carvings are built-up eight levels in most places and the piece retains a hanger on the back for wall mounting. The rear inset structure is finished in matte black paint for a nice contrast and thorough completion. Probably dating to 1940s.
Why We Love It: While religious iconography is not generally our thing, we had to have this piece for is scale and prominence. We can imagine this gracing a foyer entry table, dining table or anywhere you need a little humbling, texture and height. This piece looks just as good from the front as she does from the back.
Condition: Generally intact with losses to one foot and front vertical as shown.
Dims: 30” Tall x 14” Wide x 7” Deep
