Wooden Crucifix of Jesus – Hand-Carved Christian Wall Cross – 14 Inches

Product Description

This wooden crucifix of Jesus is a carefully hand-carved piece of religious art inspired by traditional Christian craftsmanship. Designed with precise anatomical detail and rich emotional expression, the crucifix depicts Christ’s sacrifice in a powerful yet beautifully sculpted form. Made from natural solid wood, each piece carries unique grain patterns, giving the artwork depth, warmth and timeless character.

Unlike mass-produced resin crucifixes, this wooden crucifix of Jesus focuses on authentic craftsmanship. The carved textures of Christ’s robe, the expressive posture, the angled head, and the symbolic INRI plaque all highlight the artisan’s dedication to classical Christian carving traditions. This makes the crucifix not only a devotional object but also a meaningful collectible for those who value sacred art.

Traditional INRI Cross Design

At the top of the cross sits the traditional INRI plaque, representing the Latin phrase “Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum” (“Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”). Historically placed above the crucified Christ, this element links the artwork to centuries of Christian iconography. The deep wood carving gives the letters a distinct visual presence, enhancing the spiritual tone of the crucifix.
