Cross crucifix wood mother-of-pearl marquetry chalice passion dove Vietnam nineteenth
Articles
Crucifix crucifix made of ironwood and inlays of mother-of-pearl, richly decorated with catholic iconography: the dove of the Holy Spirit, the crown of thorns of the Passion, the chalice of the Eucharist, the immaculate heart of Mary pierced by a sword, a ladder, a sponge and the three nails of the crucifixion of Christ, from Vietnam, XIXth century.
This cross is in its own juice.
A note: missing a piece in the bottom, some lack of mother of pearl, some slits on the wood (this cross has probably been a little restored), wear time, see photos.
