This is a really peculiar design of a gothic style  wall niche for Jesus in the Cross. On each side of the Cross an angel  prays on his knees, and in the lower part there is a space to keep objects. The original Italian name of the design is ¨Cappelletta Acquasantino¨, this means that the lower space was originally designed to place a small bottle containing Holy Water. This pattern is based in a XIX century Italian design that I have reconstructed completely in the computer. In the original pattern the Cross was part of the fretwork in the rear piece. However I have preferred to complete the fretwork of the rear piece with the same motif and extrude the Cross slightly, to make it more visible. Furthermore, by doing this the Cross can be made in a different contrasting wood for a better result.

The niche is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or with 6 and 3 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will. The following table gives the measures of the niche depending on the wood width you use:
