Antique Ebony Wood Brass Nun's Personal Habit Crucifix

This charming antique crucifix, crafted from ebony wood and aged brass, was once a cherished prayer companion for a Sister of Charity nun. Measuring 2-1/2" wide by 5-1/4" high, its brass has developed a beautiful patina over years of devotion. Dating back to around 1820, this much loved cross shows signs of its journey, including a partially missing INRI plaque and Jesus's facial features are worn from devotional use. Weighing 60.74 grams, it carries the warmth of history and heartfelt prayers.
