Handcrafted crucifix made by the artisan nuns of the Atelier at the Monastery of Bethléem in France. Every detail is carefully modeled to emphasize the principal features of Christ’s body and to be perceived by touch. The halo, face, side wound, hands and robe are created in relief, depicting a surface rich in details that guides both the gaze and tactile perception. The contrast between the white robe and the brown background of the cross highlights the figure of Christ, producing a chromatic balance that enhances the details and makes the crucifix particularly suitable for prayer and meditation.
