Small crucifix made in the Holy Land in wood and carved mother of pearl. 
It is attached to a cross made of burgundy material. It was once velvet but the pile is almost completely gone. It is still visible at the back and on very small parts around the cross.
Probably stiffen with card. Stitches visible at the back.
 
The Virgin Mary and the stations number are engraved on the cross. 
The Corpus Christi is also made of carved mother of pearl.
Three little balls at the ends of the cross are made of animal bone.
Imperfections commensurate with age and use such as small stains, yellowing and scratches.
Small breaks and chips in the mother of pearl.
A fabric loop at the top was stitched but can't be used anymore as it's almost completely broken.
The colour of the material has faded with time.
Late 1800s / early 1900s .
Size 17 x 10.8 cm / 6.69 x 3.9 inches.
