A Rare Victorian Bronze Crucifix Underneath Christ’s feet, there is an arched shape with a round object inside. This represents the Skull of Adam inside a symbolic cave or alcove, It is a beautiful piece of history. Adam Parallel: In Christian scripture, Saint Paul refers to Jesus Christ as the "New Adam". The theological concept is that while the first Adam brought sin and mortality to humanity by eating from the forbidden tree, Christ redeemed humanity from that sin through his sacrifice on the wooden cross, The Golgotha Legend: Early theologians recorded the ancient Judeo-Christian legend that the hill of Golgotha (The Place of the Skull) was the exact geological burial ground of Adam. By depicting the skull inside a hollow at the base, the artisan is showing a literal visualization of Christ's blood dripping down to wash away the sins of the first man, symbolizing the ultimate victory over death, Postage available or Collection, please view photos for condition and description, zoom in and out, by zooming in you'll see imperfections as these are used and old, Lots more Antiques and Collectables including Oil Lamps in my other ads, Collection is always welcome and recommended in Rochfortbridge Westmeath, Standard Postage and Packing Standard €7.50 Post, but I do combine postage the best i can, Payment by Revolut or PayPal as a friend only, please view my other items, lots more Antiques, Collectibles, Paintings, Furniture, Porcelain, Brass, Men's Jewelry, Women's Jewelry, Belts, Gold Money, Guinness signs, Jameson Sign etc., I go to the Train Station twice a week in Mullingar at 8pm if needed
