The corpus is modeled in high relief with the head fallen to the right, and beaded detail runs along the shaft and crossarm, carrying the eye between the figure and the flowering ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowering cross is one of the oldest images in Christian art, the cross understood not as a gallows but as the tree of life, breaking into bloom because of what happened on it. Here that idea is given without a word of lettering: a small plain boss sits above the head where a titulus would ordinarily be cut, and the plainness suits the piece. Of good size and weight, it is substantial enough to finish a full rosary and equally at home worn on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crucifix 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":48943625535673,"sku":"3c3-1139-B","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1139-B.png?v=1787688775","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-floral-ends","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
