Each rustic cross is made from the sacred wood of the chonta palm tree or Chonta Duro. Shamans have been known to use the sharp long spikes found on chonta tree trunks as "darts" to take out evil spirits which cause illness. The staffs carried by some Shamans are also made of chonta wood. This cross makes a great piece for your altar, sacred space or to use as part of your despacho offerings. Sold individually. Choice of available sizes. Handmade in Peru.
