We have chosen the hand made Latin American Crucifix (ca 19c) which has been hand cast in solid bronze.   We tried the silver and it did not compare so decided to offer it in solid bronze only.  The chaplet crucifix is cast in bronze from a very ancient crucifix, estimated to be from the 1600s (Spain). It may have been brought to New Spain (Latin America) during the time of the discoveries as the ships contained many religious items to be given to the indigenous people by the friars who were planning to evangelize them.  Many ships did not make it and sank on the way to the new country, depositing their hold into the sea. This crucifix looks as it it was worn smooth from being tossed in the ocean and sands for many years before being washed ashore.
