Cross
Physical description
Triple wood crucifix. Onto a roughly carved, beveled and painted rectangle of wood have been nailed two crosses, the back one of which has another small bamboo cross nailed onto the top of the centre post. The larger cross is made from a naturally three-branched piece of wood that has been carved square with a diamond shape at each of the three tips and painted dark green and red with silver leaf trim. At the centre of the branch, below a carved red heart, hangs a small card depicting the Virgin, Child and two saints behind a rectangle of silver trimmed glass.
