About the Item

An unusual and unique hand crafted English abstract sculptural crucifix made from 15th century hand wrought iron nails recovered during the restoration of an ancient East Anglian Church Tower and probably dating from the mid 20th Century. The sculpture portrays the figure of Christ with his arms outstretched in the form of a crucifix. The nails have been shaped and welded together to form the body and head and the sculpture is mounted on a wooden base. A very unusual and interesting item. In good condition.

Sculptural Crucifixion by the Catalan Artist Xavier Ruscallleda
Located in Vulpellac, Girona
A sculptural interpretation of the Crucifixion by the Catalan artist Xavier Ruscallleda (1944 - 2008). Born in Sant Feliu de Guixols he went to study art at Sant Jordi School of Fine Art in Barcelona. He left to focus on informalism and abstraction in painting during the fifties and sixties. However, he also experimented with sculpture. In this case he created an abstract interpretation of the Christian principle symbol of the Crucifixion. The sculpture is made out of raw iron metal whereby he has used traditional blacksmith methods of smithing and forging to shape the metal. The metal has then been oxide to generate this green patina effect. The base of the object is placed with a rough black rock which holds it in place and allows it to retain its balance. It is an interesting object.
