A plain Latin cross with slightly flared arms stands in high polish at the center, and the field behind it is worked all over in fine stippling, so the cross lifts clear of a ground that holds the antiquing dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no figure here and no lettering, only the cross, which is the whole of the Christian claim in a single shape. Setting it on a shield is an old and deliberate choice: Scripture speaks of faith as a shield, and generations of rosary makers put the two together so that the center of the beads would carry the sign a Christian goes armed with. At three quarters of an inch across it still reads at a glance, which is exactly what a center has to do while the fingers are busy counting.\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":48943524839609,"sku":"3c3-251-B","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-251-B.png?v=1787688741","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-cross-on-stippled-shield-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
