This is just an amazing piece of folk art!
Standing 26 inches tall by 22 inches wide by 10 inches deep, this matchstick crucifix actually has light sockets at the four different points of the cross. The maker set it up for Christmas tree lights and I added the bubble light to the bottom. Judging by the protective piece of rug remnant that’s been glued to the bottom, and the applied silver plastic crucifix, I would guess that it was likely made during the 1960s.
Suitable for a home shrine or religious decoration, it is in very good vintage condition, although some of the match sticks may be chipped on the end points. A super unusual item!
