Handmade carved pear wood cross

"A simple tree under the master’s chisel becomes a symbol that survives generations."

The cross with the crucifix is a traditional symbol of the Orthodox faith. This model is entirely made of pear wood using manual carving techniques, without separate overlay elements. Such a cross can be used in church rituals in temples as well as serve as a protective charm in every home.

Product Description

The cross is made from solid pear wood — a light-toned wood with a smooth texture that is well-suited for manual carving. The size of the product is 21x12 cm, and it can also be made to order in a different size.

Each cross is handmade, so there may be slight differences in the depth of carving and the shade of the wood — this is a natural feature of handwork, not a defect.
