***********************
DESCRIPTION:
This cross is a piece of religious art that is known to Federico's home of Oaxaca & used as a form of protection. The cross is replicated the same way that people place Milagros on wood or a saint or anything else that is strong enough where nails can be used.. But only with these Milagros,they are nailed onto this heavy gauge sterling cross..What I love about this, is that the Milagros actually move & all the inscriptions underneath that are on the vertical part of the cross all along the front & back!
It is designed with a variety of spiritual motif, where the cross is anchored from the sun as if to give life to everything below.Jesus is displayed with a thorn crown in the center,Guadalupe below him. The sides of the cross are made with nailed gloved hands & are the anchor for the male & female who are in prayer.The latter is for "general prayers & wishes".The kneeling male & female that dangle from the sides seems to give this somewhat of a “Yalalag” Cross feel.
It has a shepherds hook to hang onto your favorite sterling bead necklace or can accommodate a wide variety of necklaces to hook onto.The hook can open up more (With ease-See photo 11 where you can see how it's already opened) to fit between a larger size bead.
If I can offer some advise,I would recommend hanging the cross onto a strand of Navajo Pearls that go hand in hand with the oxidized finishing of the cross ..I carry a wide variety of oxidized sterling bead necklaces if you need something to hang this on!
This has all the charm of Oaxaca!

In order to give close up photos & provide you with all the detail,pictures can tend to make the item look much more larger & more magnified than in actuality.Close up's can make the item look so large & then you get them in hand & they turn out to be smaller than it looked in the photos!

Also,things that seem seriously obvious because of the close up's, are not hardly noticeable in actuality.
