Handcrafted Solid Wood Cross by J. Ortegon — 14" Southwest Folk Art
This finely handcrafted wooden cross by J. Ortegon exemplifies the rustic beauty of Southwestern folk art. Carved from solid wood, the piece features traditional rope-style edging and a central sunburst medallion, blending devotional symbolism with regional artistry. The geometric center and textured frame evoke a sense of craftsmanship rooted in Hispanic and New Mexican traditions.
Branded on the verso with the maker’s mark “HANDCRAFTED BY J. ORTEGON,” this cross is both a spiritual object and a collectible folk art piece. It comes ready to hang with an integrated metal wall mount and displays a warm, natural finish that highlights the wood grain and carving.
Though the artist is not widely documented, the work suggests an independent or regional artisan, contributing to the authenticity and uniqueness of the piece. Ideal for collectors of devotional art, Southwestern decor, or handmade American craftsmanship.
