Hand-Carved Olive Wood Crucifix with Mother of Pearl

hand-carved olive wood crucifix featuring a silver-toned figure of Jesus Christ (the corpus) mounted on the front. The cross itself is bordered with elegant mother of pearl inlay, adding a shimmering and decorative finish.

Set into the four ends of the crucifix are gold-rimmed glass capsules, each containing a symbolic element from the Holy Land:

Top: contains frankincense

Left and Right: rose petals and olive leaves

Bottom: stone from the Holy Land

Above the head of Jesus is a small metallic plaque inscribed with INRI, referencing the Latin inscription “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum” (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews).

The reverse side features all 14 Stations of the Cross, meticulously engraved to honor Christ’s passion and sacrifice. A powerful symbol of faith and devotion—crafted in the land where Jesus walked.

This crucifix is both a spiritual keepsake and a devotional artwork, merging Holy Land materials, traditional symbolism, and fine craftsmanship.
