Carved pear cross with colored inlay

"The colorful spark in carved wood reminds of a light that never goes out."

The cross with the crucifix is a traditional symbol of the Orthodox faith. This model is made entirely of pear wood and is adorned with round carved rosettes-medallions with colored inlays at the ends of the arms and in the center. The product is made in Ukraine and is one of the popular items of the workshop.

Product Description

The cross is made of solid pear wood — a light-colored wood with a smooth texture. Each arm ends with a round carved rosette-medallion with colored inlay, and the same element is placed in the center of the cross. The size of the product is 30x17 cm.

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

Where It Fits and Where It Doesn't

Technical Specifications

Advantages of the Material

• Color Stability: the natural light shade of pear wood does not fade or dull with proper care.
• Wood Density: pear is a hard, fine-grained species that holds carving details well and does not chip.
• Durability: solid wood without insert elements ensures the stability of the structure.
• Longevity: with proper storage, the product lasts for decades without losing shape and clarity of carving.

Crosses with crucifixes are made by the masters of the "HUTSUL MASTER'S CROSS WORKSHOP" in the city of Kosiv — a region known for its centuries-old traditions of wood carving. Each product undergoes manual processing from start to finish, preserving the authenticity of Hutsul ornamentation.
