Steel Sheet Double Barred Cross with Solar Design - Solar Cross Pillows and Throws The chakana or Inca CrossThis elegant two barred cross is crafted by Alejandro de Esesarte who cuts the image from steel sheets, then hammers it smooth. The cross is then hand painted in acrylics with a sun inspired design, no doubt influenced by the semi desert climate of his home state of Jalisco. He then gives it a crackled finish for visual interest. Steel 0. 50 lbs 24 inches H x 15. 8 inches W x 1. 2 inches D
