Description: This sculpture by Jean Lambert-Rucki features exquisite attention to detail in the depiction of Christ on the cross. Of note, this particular piece does not have the "Thorn of Crowns" that most Lambert-Rucki crucifix's do, so it is truly a unique piece. The artist's signature is etched into the base of the statue, adding to its authenticity and value.Crafted from high-quality bronze and rosewood, this statue is a powerful representation of the subject matter. The intricate details in the sculpture make it a true work of art. The entire crucifix is approximately 8 inches wide by 11 inches tall. Jesus measures 6.5 inches by 7 inches. This piece is in really nice shape. It was purchased in Europe in 1952-53. More about Lambert-Rucki... Jean Lambert-Rucki was born in Cracow, Poland in 1888.
