About the Item

A large 19th-century Italian Baroque–style crucifix, crafted in silvered bronze and ebonized wood, mounted on a circular wooden base. Above the figure of Jesus Christ is a plaque inscribed INRI—the initials of Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum (“Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”). Below the agonized figure of Christ, the crucifix is further adorned with a skull and crossbones, a reference to Golgotha (Calvary), the site of the Crucifixion, whose name in Hebrew translates to “the place of the skull.” The reverse of the cross features the Sacred Heart of Jesus, depicted as a heart encircled by a crown of thorns symbolizing Christ’s divine love, suffering, sacrifice, and the wounds borne for humanity. Each arm of the cross is finished with carved cow-bone finials.
