Handmade crucifix in lenga wood 35x25x5 cm.The crucifix is ​​made of lenga wood and carved by hand.The timber comes from Lima, Peru and is brought to the Andes, where the workshops are located, at an altitude between 2800 and 3600 meters.Here, the timber ages for 1 to more years, depending on the thickness. When the humidity drops to 12-13% it is ready to be used. The drawing, first performed on paper, is shown on a wooden board. Subsequently, the wood is sculpted with the help of chisels and gouges.In the first phase of processing it is roughed out defining the figures, then with other tools worked patiently until the complete realization of the image with all the details. The carved figures are as if they emerge from the sketched background. Furthermore, in this crucifix the cross merges with the body of Christ: it is the metaphor of Christ who takes on the sins of humanity. All the young sculptors are gradutes from the "Don Bosco" art school and have received the tools to be able to work by hand.This crucifix cross is made in Peru by local artisans.
