Description
This hand-painted resin figurine of Jesus on the cross is a quiet, devotional piece for a shelf or mantelpiece in the home. The cross is painted a rich wood brown, with grain and split ends picked out so it reads like old timber, and a small cream scroll at the top carries the letters INRI. The figure of Christ is painted in soft natural tones with a pale draped cloth, and at the foot of the cross a cluster of coral-red roses and green leaves sits on a grey, rock-like base. It stands 26cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep, a size that suits a bookcase, a bedside table or a small prayer corner without crowding it.
Its own base means it stands by itself, so there is no hook or fixing to think about: it simply rests on a mantel, a windowsill, a cabinet or a dresser. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a first Holy Communion or a confirmation, marking the day with a piece that can be kept in a bedroom for years to come. It sits just as well in a family home as a daily sign of faith, whether in a hallway, a living room or on a small home altar.
The figurine is made in polyresin and painted by hand, so the shading on the cross, the figure and the roses carries the small variations that come with a brush. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, and use a lightly damp cloth for any marks rather than a harsh cleaner. For a Communion or confirmation gift, add a card for the day; on a shelf at home, set it at eye level, where the face of Christ and the INRI scroll can be seen clearly.
