Early 1900 and Very Fine Quality Hand Carved Wall Crucifix / Jesus on the Cross

About the Item

Sizeable crucifix with a finer quality carved corpus of Christ. Looking at Christ like this and thinking about the gruesome way in which He lost His earthly life, the crucifix (in our view) is a symbol of what 'telling people the truth' can lead to. 'The truth does not have many friends' is something I once read. Looking at what is going on in the world today, in most countries that still is the case. However, we feel that we (humans), nevertheless, are still becoming more loving, civilized, empathetic and self-conscious. Mind you, this good size wall crucifix dates from the early 1900s and the cruelties that people did to one another for acting or being different than 'normal' in those days, in most cases were far worse than what we see in this day and age. Looking at Christ on the cross with this in mind, we have come along way and we are slowly, but surely evolving in the right direction. Maybe it is just some of our 'leaders' who are lacking behind. Christ on the cross should therefor also be a reminder of someone who has lived and foreseen all this and who should therefor always be a beacon of hope and light when things are not going our way, yet. What attracted us most in this work of religious art are the quality details of His anatomy and the warm patina of this finely carved corpus. The facial features of this superb corpus of Christ reveal that this is the moment in which he has just bowed His head and left the earthly for the heavenly. The deeper meaning of this unique antique remains the same and we hope that this handcrafted crucifix will inspire the new owner to be the best he or she can be. Because of the minor restauration to His feet and the lost fingers on both hands we have dropped the price of this, otherwise stunning antique crucifix significantly and therefor this church relic too is great value for money. Mind you, our fair price for this unique antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 31.5 x 18 x 3.3 inches. Height x width of corpus alone: 16.2 x 15.2 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
