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 9 inches tall, this is a smaller crucifix which will fit where there is smaller space available. There is an opening in the back of the antique gold crucifix so the crucifix hangs snugly against the wall for additional security and stability. 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 20 inch size under item number 62143 and a 14 inch size under item number 62153.
