Fabulous Spanish Colonial Priests Cross, hand carved in a detailed art noveau vine and leaf pattern, with a metal Christ, and the priests symbol with a skull and crossed bones on the bottom. I think the metal used for the Christ, and the skull are cast nickle silver. The base was added later,this base can be removed, but it helps balance it, the cross is in good shape, one tip of one leaf looks like it has been repaired, but well done, you can hardly see it. the cross measures 22 inches tall with the base, 20 inches with out it, the width of the base is 9.5 inches, the width of the cross, at the top is 9 inches. This is what the Mission Priestwould have either brought with him from Spain or taught a native artisan to make, from wood brought from Spain. Thank You for shopping in the Land of Enchantment!
