This is a vintage French crucifix pendant, featuring a dark ebony wood cross with a metal corpus (figure of Christ) and metal edging. The reverse is clearly marked “FRANCE EBONY,” indicating French manufacture and genuine ebony wood construction.

The piece displays the kind of aged patina and wear expected from an authentic vintage devotional item, giving it a reverent, timeworn character. It is attached to a rosary-style chain with dark beads, making it suitable for devotional use, display, or collection.

A meaningful piece for collectors of Catholic religious items, French devotional artifacts, or vintage rosaries, as well as for those seeking a crucifix with authentic age and presence.
