Hand-Carved Olive Wood Sculpture of Jesus Carrying the Crucifix

This sculpture captures a single moment from the Passion with quiet intensity. Jesus is carved in a tall, slender contemporary style, leaning forward under the weight of the cross. The elongated form lets the natural movement of the figure come through without heavy ornamentation. The olive wood grain does the rest, deep brown veins running through honey tones across the full 8.5 inches of the piece.

At 14 oz it has real weight and presence. Carved from a single piece of genuine olive wood in Jordan, every curve from the drape of the garments to the angles of the cross is hand-finished to the specific character of that section of wood. No two are alike.

• Material: 100% genuine olive wood
• Origin: Jordan

To maintain the luster and prevent the wood from drying, occasionally wipe the surface with a soft cloth and a small drop of olive oil. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture.

Hand-carved in Jordan by artisans using olive wood harvested from pruned branches of ancient trees, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of religious folk art.
