Antique Wall Crucifix – Patinated Plaster Corpus of Christ on Solid Wooden Cross – Early 20th Century DESCRIPTION Beautiful antique wall crucifix featuring a finely detailed representation of Jesus Christ on a traditional solid wooden cross. Dating approximately from the late 19th to the early 20th century, this religious piece displays an expressive and carefully modelled figure of Christ, with his head gently inclined, a detailed crown of thorns and an intricately draped loincloth. The corpus is believed to be made of moulded plaster with an aged, ivory-coloured patinated finish. The natural variations in colour and surface texture give the sculpture an attractive antique appearance. The wooden cross features a warm brown finish, simple decorative edges and an original-style INRI plaque positioned above the figure. The sculpture is particularly appealing for its expressive facial features, anatomical detailing and beautifully rendered folds of fabric.
