Large vintage hand-carved wooden crucifix featuring an expressive carved figure of Jesus Christ, a separate INRI plaque, carved nail details, and a skull-and-crossbones symbol beneath the figure.
The skull-and-crossbones is a traditional Christian representation associated with Golgotha, the “Place of the Skull” and is also traditionally identified as the skull of Adam.
This is an impressive, substantial wall crucifix measuring approximately 29.5 inches tall and 15.75 inches wide. The cross, figure of Christ, INRI plaque, nails, and skull details are all made from carved wood. The richly figured wood appears to be oak, although the exact wood species has not been professionally confirmed.
The crucifix is unsigned and has no visible maker’s mark, country-of-origin label, or date. Its precise age and origin are unknown; it is therefore being represented as vintage rather than assigned an unverified historical date.
A beautiful devotional object and distinctive example of traditional Christian religious wood carving. Its large size makes it suitable for display in a home, church, chapel, prayer room, office, or religious collection.
