Made from regional cedar, a wood valued for its fine grain and warm tonal aging, the piece presents a stylized human figure with expressive features and visible hand-tool marks. The original forged nails remain intact, contributing to its historical authenticity. Traditionally shaped by rural artisans, works like this reflect a fusion of colonial-era symbolism with indigenous technique. Its scale and weathered patina suggest prior household display as part of a longstanding cultural tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingular piece – hand-carved folk sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted from aged Guatemalan cedar – known for its warm tone and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflects regional folk carving traditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for collector display, ethnographic study, or cultural preservation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"From The Andes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561108697145,"sku":"MS-0042","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3134\/5977\/files\/hand-carved-cedar-wall-cross-20-guatemalan-folk-art-sculpture-3630213.jpg?v=1786791714","url":"https:\/\/fromtheandes.com\/products\/guatemala-wooden-cross-handcarved-cedar","provider":"From The Andes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
