Antique Rhinestone Wood & Metal Corpus 20" Wall Rayed Glory Cross Crucifix 1924

Antique Rhinestone Wood & Metal Corpus 20" Wall Rayed Glory Cross Crucifix 1924

Antique rhinestone encrusted crucifix

Wooden base covered in 100s of rhinestones with a cast metal corpus and metal INRI sign

20" tall, 11" wide, 3" thick including the light bulbs

Note the hole on the back above the wall hanging hook, it has electrical contacts inside. So originally this had some type of a wall mounted outlet that it plugged into.

There is no power to it now, but a keen electrical consultant may be able to supply power to it

The words above the wall hook say, "Patent Pending 1924-25"

Please note photos: There is a chip in the wood on the top left above the light, several places on the corpus that exhibit scratches and/or wear to the metal, several of the "glory rays" are bent. I have not tried to bend any of them back into place
