Hand-Carved Wooden Crucifix Wall Cross INRI Jesus Folk Art Vintage Religious

A piece of Irish history. This is an Irish Penal Cross, traditionally molded from compressed Irish bog turf (peat) — a devotional cross designed during the Penal Laws to be small and slim enough to hide up a sleeve. The face carries the figure of Christ beneath the INRI banner, surrounded by the symbols of the Passion: the rooster of St. Peter rising from the pot, the chalice, and other engraved motifs. Deep peat-black finish with a carved hole on the back, ready to hang.
