{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-rays","title":"Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Rays","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this bronze crucifix apart is the light behind the corpus: a wide fan of straight rays cut into the crossing, spreading behind the arms and the head so the figure stands in front of a sunburst rather than against bare metal. The cross itself is flat, edged all round with fine beading, pierced with small openings along the arms and shaft, and finished at the foot with a small fleur-de-lis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove the head is the titulus, lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews\u003c\/em\u003e, the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross. Rays behind a crucifix are a Resurrection motif: the same wood, the same figure, already showing the glory that follows. It is a quietly hopeful way to render Good Friday.\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":48943594504377,"sku":"3c3-1267-B","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1267-B.png?v=1787688764","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-rays","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
