Cross with a carved image of the crucifixion of Christ

“In the carved image of the crucifixion, the master's chisel speaks what sometimes lacks words.”

The hand-carved cross is distinguished by the fact that the image of the Crucifixion of Christ is not an overlay detail, but a part of the wood itself — the figure is carved by the master's hands into the body of the cross. This gives the product a special depth and makes it a true object of prayerful contemplation.

Product Description

This is a wooden cross, in the central part of which the master carved the figure of the crucified Christ — without separate overlay or metal elements, the entire image is executed using the “dry” carving technique in the wood itself. The composition is complemented by a traditional geometric ornament: triangles at the edges of the crossbeam, a checkered border below the image, and a dense mesh carving on the shaft of the cross. The size of the product is 30 cm.

Craft Traditions

Carving the image of the Crucifixion directly into the wood is one of the most complex techniques mastered by the artisans of the "HUCUL MASTER'S WORKSHOP OF CROSSES" in the city of Kosiv. This technique is passed down in the workshop from generation to generation and requires not only skill but also a deep understanding of the sacred narrative.

Care

• Protect from direct contact with water and excessive moisture.
• Do not leave for long periods under direct sunlight.
• Wipe with a dry soft cloth, carefully cleaning the recesses of the carving.
• If necessary, refresh the appearance with natural wood oil.

“Those who gaze at the carved image long enough hear the silence that speaks louder than words.”
