Christ is shown half-length and bearded, a nimbus behind his head and one hand drawn in to his breast, while the upper limbs of a cross rise behind his right shoulder, close enough that the two forms overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting the cross behind the living Christ rather than beneath a corpus is an old device in devotional metalwork, a way of holding the Lord and the instrument of his Passion in one image without picturing the Crucifixion itself. It is quieter than a crucifix and says the same thing: this is he who suffered, and he lives. The relief is low and the modelling compact, so the piece sits flat and easy where the hand rests between decades, which is where a rosary center spends its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943524479161,"sku":"3c3-289-B","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-289-B.png?v=1787688738","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-christ-with-the-cross-oval-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
