Lot 311: Antique Bone Veneer Wall Crucifix

An antique wall-mounted crucifix featuring a carved corpus of Christ. The figure is depicted with a crown of thorns, closed eyes, and a draped perizonium. The Latin cross is constructed with bone veneer displaying a prominent parallel grain, secured with mitred joins at the central intersection. A rectangular scroll at the top is inscribed with the raised letters INRI. The construction suggests the veneer is applied to a secondary core. The corpus is intricately carved with anatomical detail and is fixed to the cross at the hands and feet.
