Crucifix Made From Bullets From World War I (1914–1918): Religious Handicrafts From The Trenches
Crucifix made from bullets from the Great War of 1914–1918: religious handicrafts from the trenches
A true curiosity and a symbol of hope during the war, this crucifix is a product of trench craftsmanship from the Great War of 1914–1918.
World War I was a bloodbath. The men who fought in it spent long months in the trenches with few resources to survive.
Amid the chaos and devastation of this war, human ingenuity and religious fervor gave rise to objects that served to bolster their courage. This crucifix made from rifle bullets is a perfect example.
A true curiosity, it is in very good overall condition; the rifle bullets form a tripod stand supporting the cross—also made of rifle bullets—with Christ in the center and the acronym INRI above him, both attached to the bullets.
This crucifix is rare, if not unique, and would be ideal for a collection of religious art related to war.
Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
