Schwantaler Hand-carved Wood Crucifix - 8 inches tall Hand Painted in Full Color

A hand-carved wood crucifix measures 21cm long (approx 8.3 inches) with a hand painted, antiqued color corpus on a Trinity budded end wood cross. Hand carved and hand-painted, one color at a time for a beautiful and unique piece of religious art. Carved from the finest kiln dried lindenwood from the forests of the Italian Alps. In the valleys of northern Italy's Alps the Bernardi family of artisans have been creating exquisite nativities and statuary generation after generation for over 400 years. Each piece is then hand stained, painted and gilded with impeccable attention to detail - no two exactly alike. Their work has been chosen to grace the churches, villas, cathedrals and homes of Europe for 400 years, and now, this beautiful statuary will be available in the United States from In His Name Catholic Store. Boxed with certificate of Val Gardena design.
