Carved pear cross with a relief figure of Christ

"The carver does not add the figure to the cross — he frees it from the wood."

The cross with the crucifix is a traditional symbol of the Orthodox faith. This model is made entirely from pear wood, and the figure of Christ is carved directly into the solid wood — without separate overlay elements. The composition is complemented by traditional Orthodox inscriptions and a dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Product Description

The cross is made from solid pear wood — a light-colored wood with a smooth texture that is well-suited for fine carving. The figure of Christ is carved in relief directly into the wood, with traditional Orthodox inscriptions above it, and an image of a dove at the top. The size of the product is 23x14 cm.

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