{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-baroque-acanthus-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Baroque Acanthus Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe arms of the Vintage Bronze Baroque Acanthus Crucifix do not simply end, they unfurl. Each of the four terminals opens into broad curling acanthus leaves, and the shaft between them is left narrow so the eye travels straight to the corpus at the crossing. A rayed halo is cast behind the head, and a small plaque above the crossbar carries the titulus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat titulus reads \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Latin abbreviation of \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross. Acanthus is the leaf of Roman and baroque ornament, and setting it on a crucifix makes the old claim that the Cross is a living tree. The form is generous and moving in the baroque way, and it hangs with real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Baroque Acanthus Crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the crucifix's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943466905785,"sku":"3c3-584-B","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-584-B.png?v=1787688722","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-baroque-acanthus-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
