Description: This crucifix was commissioned to Eduardo Mutuc in 2010. The commissioner requested that the cross be done in a Spanish colonial-era style, and so was it done. The cross has the strip of gold that drapes around the cross can be interpreted as a piece of clothing that priests wore. The streaks of gold at the back of the cross represents the holiness that it symbolizes, however the skull at the bottom may represent the deaths of the people under the Spanish colonial rule through the spread of Christianity.
