The corpus is worked in high relief, the head fallen to the right shoulder, with a small INRI titulus above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose four letters abbreviate the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross — \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews — written in mockery and read by the Church ever since as plain truth. The flowering at the four points belongs to an older idea still, the cross understood as a tree that came into blossom, the dead wood of Good Friday bearing fruit. Crosses of this family were made this way on purpose, and at an inch and three-eighths the ornament stays light rather than heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe delicate flowered 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":48943550136505,"sku":"3c3-1491-B","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1491-B.png?v=1787688748","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-delicate-crucifix-with-flowered-points","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
