Antique Folk Art CrucifixLarge, 19th century handmade folk art crucifix made from carved wood. The Christ figure is naively and simply painted, fixed to the cross only by a screw at the center. The hands and feet are not attached. It was carved from very lightweight wood, so all it needs is that screw to keep it upright. Likewise, the cross is held together only by a single bent nail. Theres a hole at the top to nail it to a wall and the whole piece measures about 26 long.

Some wear to the silver foil and black lacquer

Whoever had it before me used it without an issue

The oval wooden shadow box and the interior compartment are immaculate

Always a Victorian girl at heart

so called for the name of the small knife used to cut the intricate patterns
