This inspirational crucifix has a little different look because of the way it is finished. The cross forming the background behind the corpus is silver plated around pearlized enamel and measures 7 inches while the corpus of this crucifix is made of genuine pewter. Because of the silverplate, enamel and pewter, the crucifix has a shimmery look to it. The 7 inch size makes this crucifix perfect for a room or any smaller area where space may be a problem such as a small bedroom, nursing home room, assisted living facility or anywhere a person might like a crucifix but lacks a lot of room. The crucifix comes with a circle loop at the top for hanging and will hang flush against the wall. If you have an altar to sit by for meditation in your home, this smaller crucifix can easily be laid on the altar, again not taking up much room but being there to present an image for meditation. This crucifix is a nice size for a childÆs room as it is not too overwhelming and could be given to a child as a First Communion gift or a gift for any religious occasion.
