Explanation on back reads:
The Wild Goose Studio
This 18c penal cross is unique to Irish Folk art. The arms of the cross are short so that it could be easily hidden up the sleeve.
Q. How are the Studio's designs made?
A. All Wild Goose's work is handmade by skilled craft-workers using a cold cast method. Each piece has a shell of pure cast iron or bronze backed by a resin and ceramic core. Any variations in finish are part of its appeal.
