The scrolls close over the top of the cross and open again below into a broad rounded foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe titulus above the corpus is lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross. The kneeling angels come from the old habit of Christian art of never leaving Christ alone on the cross: heaven attends the Passion and adores what it will not prevent. It is a crucifix built as a small tableau rather than a bare cross, and at this size the effect is unexpectedly tender.\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":48943606595769,"sku":"3c3-1217-B","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1217-B.png?v=1787688769","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-two-kneeling-angels","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
