The arms end in broad trefoil lobes, and the design is etched into the surface in fine line rather than modelled up in relief. The top lobe carries the Eye of Providence set in a triangle within a six-pointed star and surrounded by a glory of rays; each side lobe holds a haloed half-length figure, the witnesses who traditionally stand at either side of the cross. Below the corpus the upright widens into a scalloped foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Eye in the triangle is an old and straightforward image of God the Father: the triangle for the Trinity, the open eye for the providence that sees and provides, placed above the cross so that the Father is present at the Son's death. It belonged to Catholic devotional art long before it belonged to anything else. The etched line and the radiant Eye give this crucifix an older, more austere character than the modelled crucifixes beside it.\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":48943442362553,"sku":"3c3-663-B","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-663-B.png?v=1787688714","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-etched-crucifix-with-star-and-eye-of-providence","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
