Beautiful cross surrounded by vine leave and grapes carved in wood. 
It stands on a large pedestal with a depiction of the serpent at the bottom.
The vine symbolizes Christ and Spiritual good but also all the children of God.
At the base of the cross is a small 'pit' in the wood where a devotional object or reliquary can be placed. It is a shape of a Holy water receptacle. There is a small hole at the back so something might be missing. The hole could also allow the cross to be screwed to the wall.
There are several imperfections such as scratches, small stains, small breaks or chips. 
The varnish is gone in places because of the dust as the crucifix was left on display for a long time. The wood is whiter in the places with no varnish. The colour is uneven.
Unvarnished at the back.
It is a stunning and very unique piece despite its flaws!
Total Height: 37.6 cm / 14.56 inches
