This bust of Jesus Christ with Crown of thorns upon His head is a hand-carved olive wood sculpture carved by Christian locals in Bethlehem. The base of this piece is made of natural bark covered olive wood log. Special significance to those looking for a religious or spiritual connection to the land walked on by Jesus Christ and other biblical figures. Olivewood is a fascinating and perfect addition to any home or worship space to remind you of the priceless and endless love Jesus has for his people. Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
