The cross, with its slender geometric shape, is adorned with colored segments visible in deep red, inserted into the ends of the arms and at the base, providing a striking contrast with the dominant golden hue. The classic-style Christ in relief is cast in a gilded finish, with visible details on the body, arms, and head. The round hanging ring, located at the top, allows for easy wall mounting, characteristic of liturgical objects from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cross is composed of a background with a patinated appearance, accentuating its ancient character. The stylized red rays reinforce the decorative and sacred dimension of the whole, in a sober and solemn style, without excessive ornamentation. The straight lines and cut-off ends are typical of religious productions from the early 20th century. No text or inscription is visible on the shown face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChrist is depicted with outstretched arms, bound by the hands and feet, in a traditional posture.
