A decorative French crucifix featuring a finely cast metal cross with an applied white corpus of Christ.

The cross is richly detailed with openwork ornamentation, giving it a lace-like appearance that reflects traditional ecclesiastical design.

The figure of Christ is rendered in a contrasting pale tone, standing out against the warm gilt finish of the cross.

Above, a small plaque is present in keeping with classical crucifix form, while the base is substantial and decorated with religious motifs, allowing the piece to stand securely as a devotional object.

This type of crucifix was commonly used for altar display or within domestic prayer settings, combining both religious significance and decorative craftsmanship.
