{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-rayed-halo","title":"Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Rayed Halo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cross of the Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Rayed Halo is deliberately plain: flat rectangular arms with a recessed border running around the edge, and no ornament of any kind. All the modelling has gone into the figure, set in high relief beneath a large rayed halo that spreads wide enough to reach across the crossbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small plate above the crossbar carries the letters \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Latin \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. The halo behind the head answers that title: light where the mockery was meant to be, glory already breaking out of the moment of death. The contrast between the flat ground and the deep figure is what makes the piece work. At an inch and a quarter it carries easily for daily wear.\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":48943472935097,"sku":"3c3-563-B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-563-B.png?v=1787688723","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-rayed-halo","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
