Antique Polish Folk Art Wood Crucifix Scene 1901 Hand Carved
Antique hand-carved and hand-painted wooden devotional crucifix, likely Polish folk art in origin. The piece features Christ on the cross with two Mother Mary and John the Disciple, mounted on a rectangular base. The front retains old painted decoration in black, red, blue, and cream tones, with an “INRI” plaque at top. There appears to be old writing on the underside including “1901” and what may read “Gallingen” / Galiny, but the inscription is faint and not fully legible, so origin should be considered an attribution rather than a certainty.
Approx. Measurements:
5 1/2" x 3" x 12 1/4" H
*Condition*
Heavy age-related wear throughout, including paint loss, surface cracking, chips, scuffs, and losses to carved details, especially on Christ’s figure. The base of the crucifix is very fragile and is at risk of detaching without careful handling. Underside shows old writing/inscriptions and general wear. Sold as found.

If you want, I can also turn this into a shorter eBay-style version.
