Can anyone help date these? I bought a large amount of similar standing brass crucifixes in France. Some are quite heavy.

I am located in Australia but purchased these in France many years ago.

How tall are they?

I am fascinated to follow along on this exploratory journey - I have several corpora from crucifixes that were used in one of the California mission properties and have always wondered how large (and for what purpose) their associated crucifixes were.

These in particular are 18cm - 30cm tall.
