Vintage Byzantine-Style Crucifixion Plaque – Hand-Cast Gypsum Wall Icon

This unique round plaque is a hand-cast plaster (gypsum) relief, designed in a traditional Byzantine / Eastern Christian style. It depicts the sacred scene of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, surrounded by key biblical figures and classic Christian symbols.

At the center is Christ on the cross, with Mary (Theotokos) on the left and John the Beloved Disciple on the right. Above them, two angels are shown in reverence, representing the heavenly witness to the Passion.
On each side of the plaque appear the historic Greek Christogram letters IC XC, the ancient abbreviation for “Jesus Christ” (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ).

Handmade and finished in a bronze-style patina, this piece carries the warm, aged look of traditional Christian devotional art. It was crafted in the style commonly found in the Holy Land and Eastern Christian workshops during the late 20th century.

A meaningful piece for collectors of Christian art, Byzantine iconography lovers, or anyone seeking a spiritual home décor item that reflects deep historical roots.
