About this piece
What it shows
A wall crucifix that brings together Bethlehem's two oldest crafts: the olive wood carver's and the shell cutter's. The corpus is set against bands of white pearl and blue-green abalone.
How it is made
Strips of shell are cut and laid into channels routed in the olive wood, then polished flush. Gilt-rimmed medallions mark the four ends of the cross.
