The corpus is modelled in fine relief with the head fallen to one shoulder, against a plain field that leaves the ornament to the angels, and a titulus plaque sits above the head in the usual place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a warm, almost Baroque way of picturing the Crucifixion, one in which sorrow and glory are held together in a single small object. The cherubim are the angels Scripture sets closest to the throne of God, and placing them at the ends of the cross says what the figure alone does not: that heaven attends the death of Christ. Crucifixes with these crowded cherub terminals belong to a long Continental European tradition of cast devotional metalwork.\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":48943517270201,"sku":"3c3-310-B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-310-B.png?v=1787688734","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-winged-cherubim","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
