19th c. American Folk Tramp Art Crown of Thorns Cross in a Large Scale
About the Item
This late 19th century large scale American Folk "Tramp" Art double sided "Crown of Thorns" cross is made up of thousands of carved and joined pieces, held together with the joinery alone, without glue or nails.
The Tramp Art movement, where small pieces of wood, primarily from discarded cigar boxes and shipping crates, were whittled into layers of geometric shapes having the outside edges of each layer notch carved, was popular from 1870-1940. Tramps would make these while riding the rails and in hobo camps, then sell their wares from door to door. Some pieces were also made by prisoners. This piece is on a 4-deminsional base with nice rich color overall.
