About the Item

An evocative 19th-century Holy Land pilgrimage crucifix, handcrafted in Jerusalem from olive wood and richly decorated with engraved mother-of-pearl and iridescent shell inlay. The cross is centred by a dark-patinated cast-metal figure of Christ beneath an applied INRI plaque. Pierced pale-shell edging frames the cross, while the reverse is inscribed “Jerusalem” and retains a series of circular mother-of-pearl markers. Its compact 26 cm scale makes it suitable for wall display, a private devotional setting, a cabinet collection or placement on a mantel. The crucifix is presented exactly as found. The existing losses have been deliberately retained and no missing decorative pieces have been recreated or replaced.
