An antique French travelling crucifix in its original condition, showing the ardent wear of many devotional journeys. The piece is housed in a domed, leather-covered case with fold-out doors secured by a small swinging brass catch. The interior is lined with caramel velvet, creating a striking contrast to the bronze crucifix within. The crucifix itself is finely cast with a highly textured finish and the case bears the stamp “AVCTRIX,” a symbolic reference to the Virgin Mary as Auctrix Vitae — the “Author of Life” — a title occasionally found in Catholic devotional art.
