Antique Full Iconography 7" Tall Metal Rosary Crucifix with Ebony Wood Inlay Here is an antique wall crucifix bearing all iconography on the cross. Above Christ's head are rays of light which are iconographic representations of life and divine energy. The scroll board above Christ's head bears the INRI ("Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews). At his feet is a human skull and two long bones crossed together. In Christian iconography the skull and crossbones symbolize death, but they are also a symbol of Adam, the first man, who, according to Christian legend was buried at Golgotha, directly underneath the place where Jesus Christ was crucified. Christians believe that Christ is the new Adam, whose death atoned for Adam's sin and who represents a new template for humanity. Just as Christ conquered death in his resurrection, so will all Christians on the last day. On the reverse is the Pierced Heart surrounded with the Crown of Thorns.The crucifix is made of ebony hardwood encased in silver metal compound. It measures a little under 3 1/4" across and 7" tall including the square attachment loop on the top. It weighs 123 grams.
