Crucifix made of lenga wood with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Dimensions 50x35x5 cm.
The crucifix was hand carved in wood and then worked with a wax finish with shading.
The wood comes from Lima and is taken to the Andes, where the workshops are located, at an altitude of between 2800 and 3600 metres.
Here the wood must age for one to several years, depending on its thickness. When the humidity drops to 12-13% it is ready to be used. The drawing, first made on paper, is transferred to the wooden board.
Then the wood is carved with the help of chisels and gouges.
In the first phase of the process, the wood is rough-hewn, defining the figures, and then patiently worked with other tools until the image is complete with all the details.
All the young sculptors came out of the "taller don Bosco" art school and were given the tools to work by hand.
The work is made in Peru by local artisans.
