Jerusalem, Holy Land c. 1930–1960
An olive wood pilgrimage crucifix acquired in Jerusalem and adorned with delicate mother-of-pearl inlay.
Handcrafted from Holy Land olive wood, the cross features a silver-toned corpus, shell radiance motifs behind Christ, and traditional mother-of-pearl decoration on both the front and reverse. The word Jerusalem remains visible on the back, preserving its connection to the sacred city from which it came.
Such crosses were often purchased by pilgrims as devotional keepsakes and carried home as tangible reminders of a sacred journey. The combination of olive wood and mother-of-pearl has been a hallmark of Christian artisans in Bethlehem and Jerusalem for generations.
A beautiful object for an altar, prayer corner, or collection of pilgrimage treasures.
Condition
Good vintage condition with age-related wear, minor losses, and patina consistent with devotional use. The Jerusalem stamp remains visible on the reverse.
