Mid Century INRI Crucifix with Bronze Jesus Christ on Hammered Brass Cross, 8"

This mid-century crucifix is a beautiful and reverent piece. It features a bronze Jesus Christ figure mounted on an 8 inch hammered brass cross. The letters "INRI" are inscribed on the small bronze plate above Jesus. This is an acronym for the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum," which translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This inscription was placed above Jesus on the cross during his crucifixion. A wonderful piece to add to your collection or a meaningful gift. DC.5241
