Nice carving. I'm not sure the crosspiece on the staff makes it a cross, but perhaps. I'd have to see other contemporary Christian art.
Pinging SunkenCiv, just FYI.

Thanks Pollster1 for the ping and george76 for the topic, alas: "I will pray for him, but if he could punch it would help." [old punchline]
Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |
