AMAZING 18TH CENTURY BRONZE CORPUS EXTREMELY UNIQUE WOOD CROSS MUSEUM EXHIBITED

Description

THIS CRUCIFIX WAS EXHIBITED AT THE ROYAL ALBERTA MUSEUM’S “ANNO DOMINI” EXHIBIT IN OCTOBER OF THE YEAR 2000 . THE CATALOG FOR THIS EXHIBIT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE . THERE ARE PHOTOS OF VARIOUS ITEMS I LOANED BUT NOT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. I CAN PROVIDE THE PURCHASER WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION .
THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL PIECE THAT WAS FEATURED IN THE EXHIBIT LISTED ABOVE AS A REPRESENTATION OF TRUE DEVOTION . IT IS VERY SPECIAL AND IT DESERVES A SPECIAL PERSON WHO WILL REVERE IT AND KEEP IT INTACT AS I HAVE FOR OVER 20 YEARS . THAT SAID , I FOUND THIS 18TH CENTURY ( CA 1760 )BRONZE CORPUS IN PATZCUARO MEXICO . IT IS ATTACHED TO WHAT WAS PROBABLY HALF OF AND OLD EARLY 20TH CENTURY CROSS . THE CROSS ARMS WERE MISSING SO THE OWNER ADDED TWO POPSICLE STICKS , WHICH THEY COLORED WITH A PENCIL TO GIVE A DARKER APPEARANCE . THE CORPUS AND THE POPSICLE STICKS ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH STRING . I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DEGREE OF REVERENCE THIS PERSON OR PEOPLE HAD FOR THIS PIECE TO HAVE DONE THIS TO BE ABLE TO HANG IT IN THIER HOME . PLEASE STUDY THE PICS FOR CONDITION . CROSS MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATELY 71/2” X 5 1/2” . THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL AND UNIQUE PIECE . I FIND THIS PIECE VERY VERY SPECIAL . OBVIOUSLY THE 18TH CENTURY MEXICAN BRONZE CORPUS IS THE THING OF MONETARY VALUE HERE . I IMAGINE THE CORPUS WAS ONCE ATTACHED TO A BRONZE ALTAR CROSS .
