Vintage Tramp Art Trench Wooden Crucifix Cross Jesus Christian Religious 15.5"

This Vintage Tramp Art crucifix, standing at 15.5 inches, is a raw and poignant testament to grassroots devotion. The entire form is hewn from humble trench wood, its surface a deeply textured landscape of countless notched and layered chips, a hallmark of the self-taught tramp art tradition. The figure of Christ, simplified yet powerfully expressive, emerges from this intricately carved, geometric wilderness, appearing to both suffer from and be cradled by the painstaking handiwork that surrounds Him. There are no smooth surfaces or gilded accents here; its beauty lies in its rustic, almost primitive vigor, each chip and groove telling a story of patience, faith, and the transformative power of a simple blade. This cross carries a profound, tangible humility, a sacred object shaped not by a master's studio but by the hands of an itinerant soul. NOTE: There is a piece of wood missing on the bottom right back. See photo 6.
