This handcrafted crucifix consists of a carved wooden cross with a metal figure of Christ, presumably zinc. The piece originates from Austria and was made in the 1960s by an unknown artist.
These handmade crosses were often hung in private homes and served as religious symbols and expressions of the Catholic faith. Due to their handcrafted nature, each piece is unique and possesses its own individual character.
The cross is suitable both as a religious wall decoration and as a collector's item for lovers of sacred art or traditional European handicrafts.
There is a loop on the back for wall mounting. The item is in very good condition with no damage.
