About the Item
A 19th-century Honduran polychrome wooden crucifix, carved in a provincial folk tradition and mounted on a later stand. Christ is depicted with outstretched arms, wearing a simply modeled loincloth, with restrained painted details to the face and body. The carving is direct and expressive, characteristic of rural devotional sculpture from the region.
The figure shows notable age-related wear, including surface losses to the polychrome and minor losses to the hands, with two fingers missing—likely the result of long devotional use and handling over time. The overall patina and condition contribute to the work’s authenticity and historical presence as an object of faith and folk craftsmanship.

19th Century Polychrome Jesus of Gethsemane
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This evocative devotional sculpture portrays Jesus in a moment of deep reflection before His capture in Gethsemane. Shown seated with one hand resting against His cheek, He contemplates the suffering to come — the crown of thorns, the wound in His side, and the crucifixion itself. The primitive carving style and richly crackled surface lend the figure a powerful emotional immediacy and spiritual intimacy.
Traces of original polychrome paint remain, with areas of natural age wear and loss that reveal the wood beneath, enhancing its time-worn beauty. The sculpture’s expressive simplicity and devotional sincerity mark it as a moving example of 19th-century folk religious art

Crucified Christ, Sorrowful Crucifix. Carved and polychrome wood. Possibly southern German school, 15th century.
Polychrome and gilded wood carving showing Christ with the Crown of Thorns, on the Cross, already deceased (eyes closed), with the usual INRI phylactery on the upper crossbar of the Latin cross, three nails (note the crossed feet) and a short, golden and polychrome purity cloth or perizonium. It is known, in German, as “Gabelkreuz” or “Gabelkruzifix” (“Sorrowful Crucifix” in Spanish) to a type of Gothic Crucified Christ that is especially expressive (prioritizing external suffering over other aspects) and that, normally, presents the cross in a of Y or ypsilon (alluding to the Tree of Life), created, apparently, thanks to the influence of the mysticism of the late 13th and early 14th centuries (Saint Brigid...

Art Decò Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of Christ
Located in Miami, FL
Crucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Art Decò style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. The relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly inlays details. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...
