This item was purchased from a shop that deals in antiques. I was told it's a very old piece, made in France. The velvet-like fabric is worn, and there is rust on the metal in various places, as well as loose nails. Also, the "INRI" plate that should be above Christ's head is missing. I hope to sell it to someone who appreciates the antique atmosphere. It will be shipped via regular mail (teikeigai). If you prefer a different shipping method, please comment before purchasing.
