This is a simple but beautiful crucifix made of walnut and finished with a matte finish in such a way as to allow the lovely natural grain to show through. The crucifix itself is 10 inches long while the metal corpus measures about 4-1/2 inches long. The silver-looking corpus is emphasized as it stands out against the darker walnut. This walnut crucifix is a nice size to hang on almost any wall and would be especially nice in a living room, bedroom or small chapel. If you have a meditation area, the crucifix could hang over the area or be placed on a table or altar. The walnut crucifix has an opening cut out of the back so it fits flush against the wall and is secure when hung. The crucifix comes boxed for security and easy storage.
