Product Description
Classic Olive Wood Crucifix with Silver Corpus
This traditional crucifix necklace combines the natural warmth of authentic olive wood with the reverent beauty of a silver-plated alloy corpus figure. The corpus of Christ is rendered in three-dimensional relief, capturing the essential elements of the crucifixion with dignified simplicity and profound spiritual significance. Set against the olive wood cross, the silver-toned figure creates a striking visual contrast that draws attention to the central symbol of Christian faith. Measuring 4.5 cm in height and 3.5 cm in width, this crucifix maintains the classic proportions of a traditional Latin cross while remaining compact enough for comfortable everyday wear as a personal expression of devotion.
Traditional Design with INRI Inscription
The crucifix features the traditional INRI inscription engraved in a rectangular frame above the corpus, representing the Latin acronym "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum" (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews). This ancient inscription, traditionally placed above Christ on the cross, connects this piece to centuries of Christian iconography and biblical authenticity. The recessed border design creates a refined frame around the central image, adding depth and visual interest to the overall composition. The word "ITALY" is engraved at the bottom of the vertical beam, marking the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterizes Italian religious artistry. A small metal ring bail at the top allows for secure attachment to the braided cord.
Authentic Olive Wood with Silver Plated Corpus
The cross is carefully crafted from genuine olive wood, prized for its rich spiritual symbolism and distinctive grain patterns. Each piece displays unique natural variations in color and texture, ranging from light honey tones to deeper amber hues, making every crucifix truly one of a kind. The smooth, polished finish highlights the wood's natural beauty while providing durability for years of wear. The corpus is cast from silver-plated alloy with a matte finish that resists tarnishing and maintains its dignified appearance. This combination of natural olive wood and silver-toned metal creates a timeless aesthetic that honors both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary durability.
Comfortable Devotional Necklace
The included dark brown braided cotton cord complements the natural warmth of the olive wood while providing a secure and comfortable wearing experience. The metal ring bail ensures the crucifix remains properly positioned and prevents the cord from slipping through. At 4.5 × 3.5 cm, the pendant makes a meaningful statement without being overly heavy or cumbersome, making it suitable for continuous wear throughout daily activities, prayer times, and religious services. The adjustable length of the cord allows the wearer to position the crucifix at their preferred height, whether worn close to the heart as a personal devotion or displayed slightly lower as a public witness of faith.
