What You're Getting
An Olive Wood Cross Fully Covered in Mother of Pearl
This cross is constructed from an olive wood base that is fully covered with mother of pearl inlay across the entire surface. Unlike partial inlay crosses, this piece applies the mother of pearl to the complete face, creating a continuous iridescent finish.
Mother of Pearl Inlay
Mother of pearl is a natural material derived from the inner lining of shells. Bethlehem has a centuries-old tradition of mother of pearl craft, particularly in the production of religious items for Christian pilgrims and the devotional market.
Stand and Certificate Included
The cross comes with a stand for upright table display and a Certificate of Authenticity. The stand allows it to function as a standalone desk or altar piece without requiring wall mounting.
