About the Item

Sculpture depicting a Cross with a stylized whimsical portrayal of Christ made on dark wood, sterling, and brass. It was elaborated by "Talleres Monásticos" (Emaus). Talleres Monásticos was a workshop in a Benedictine Monastery in Morelos, Mexico. The monks manufactured beautiful decorative works with wood and various metals, mainly with religious or biblical themes. The sale of these items -and some crops- provided an income for the livelihood of the monastery. This effort was led by Francisco De la Mora, a highly talented architect and designer -turned Benedictine monk- who projected and built the beautiful Monastery and organized the creative work in it.
