Although this crucifix looks like wood and metal it is actually made of resin. The resin of the cross is painted to look like wood with a beautiful wood grain. The corpus looks like gold metal that has been antiqued. The black of the antiqueing makes the details and features of the corpus really stand out. Measuring 20-1/4 inches and 10-7/8 inches wide, this is a larger crucifix but still will fit nicely on most walls. There is an opening in the back of the antique gold crucifix so the crucifix hangs snugly against the wall for additional security. The antiqueing gives this crucifix a very different and unusual look but presents the image in the traditional manner. This crucifix can also be found in a 14 inch size under item number 62153 or in a 9 inch size under item number 62273.
