Vintage straw applique folk art Orthodox cross crucifix strawwork altar Ukraine

Wow, what a stunning thing this is.

A beautiful large straw applique orthodox cross, possibly Ukrainian in origin.

There has been a repair done to one of the pieces at some point, possibly while the piece was being made, as it's only on one side (each piece is made from two thin pieces of wood sandwiched together).

Signed to the base with initials (possibly RB) and 1982.

Absolutely unique - you won't find another like it!

Approx 16" tall

Condition

All the items I sell are in vintage condition and will generally show some signs of use. Minor wear and tear is to be expected and where there is damage over and above this level of use, I will clearly document it. Please be aware colours can vary from monitor to monitor.

My home is smoke-free, but I do have a little pug who sheds a lot. 

Postage

I use recycled packing materials where possible, which not only helps to save our planet but saves you money too. If you would like your item(s) sent in a brand new box/envelope, just let me know. I am currently doing what I can to lessen how much single-use plastic I use in my packaging, but am switching over to more eco-friendly products as I run out. 

Items are sent Royal Mail Second Class in most circumstances. Larger items are sent via courier which can take 3-5 working days. I pack and pad very well. 

Postcards and ephemera are sent in a card-backed envelope or with a stiff board insert.

An extra charge may be levied for deliveries to Scottish islands/highlands and Northern Ireland that can't be made via Royal Mail (sorry!)

If you have any problems with your order, please contact me and I will do my best to help.
