A standing haloed figure fills the field, the face drawn in a few strokes, the arms stretched out along the crossbar and the body marked with close parallel hatching. A staff carrying a small banner is incised beside him, and rough hatched lines fill the ground below his feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA banner on a staff is the oldest sign in Christian art for victory over death, carried through every scene of the Resurrection, and set here beside a figure with arms open on the cross it makes the whole small plate a statement of triumph rather than defeat. The drawing is plain and direct, the work of a folk hand rather than a trained die-cutter, and that plainness is a great deal of its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe folk cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the cross's 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":48943442329785,"sku":"3c3-665-B","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-665-B.png?v=1787688714","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-etched-folk-cross-with-haloed-figure","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
