Measuring 60 cm high, 34.5 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, the cross presents itself as a striking wall object with a spiritual aura.

Made of cast material with an elegant marble finish (coating) and a decorative top made of Bakelite – an early plastic with a distinctive appearance. The figure of Christ and other finely crafted details are made of copper, which has developed a warm patina over time, lending the piece additional historical charm.

The composition of the materials testifies to the skilled craftsmanship and stylistic identity of a bygone era. An exceptional collector's item that not only conveys religious symbolism but is also of art historical interest. Ideal as a decorative object for rooms with a vintage character or sacred atmosphere.
