Antique Forêt Noir Crucifix and Holy Water Font

With all the stylistic hallmarks of wood carvings from the Forêt Noir or Black Forest region of France and Germany, this antique hand-carved crucifix and holy water font brings with it a sense of the dark mystery of that iconic forest. 

Masterfully carved in the classic dark-stained wood of the region, the rugged cross is set among lush ferns and scrolling ivy. Perched on the horizontal beam of the cross is a sweet bird's nest and protective songbird. At the base of the cross is a small well to hold holy water.

This rare, pastoral treasure is sure to bring its spirit of protection and gentle devotion to your home.
