Love the design of this cross beautiful craftsmanship.
Verified Reviewer
This cross is a beautiful addition to our front hallway. It is narrow enough to fit on the pillar wall as needed, but pretty enough to still catch your attention. Very nicely crafted.

Beautiful in my 14 year old son who prefers sports to art but likes it very much.
You can find our chrysocolla and copper wall cross 'Chrysocolla Cross' by Angel Franco in wall decor categories such as Heart Crosses, Religious Crosses, Cross Crosses, Christian Crosses and Bronze Crosses. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
Preserving Traditions
"Metal work has been part of Peruvian culture since before the Incas. It is an inheritance that my father taught me and I have taught my children. In our workshop, we make many replicas of Inca and traditional Peruvian art. We use brass, copper and silver like our ancestors did. This keeps our culture alive."
Profound Impact
Angel still supports most of his family. He provides for his own wife and the wife of his eldest son. He pays for the education of his children. His Novica sales enable him to do so, providing a steady source of income for the family.
Microcredit Financing
Angel Franco has received 5 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $600 and the most recent for $2000. Proceeds were used to invest in a bulk purchase of bronze and copper for his metalwork.
Enabling Education
Angel has four children. His eldest son is unable to pay for the education of his two daughters. Angel provides for his granddaughters' education.
"What I want to transmit is everything that ancient Peruvian cultures left for the world – I want everyone to know these great artisans and their creations."
