The heads run in low relief along the shaft and out to the arms, the four terminals open into pierced fleur-de-lis of their own, and the corpus at the crossing is small and finely modelled with the pattern pressing close around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lily has stood for purity and for the Virgin since the Middle Ages, and as the fleur-de-lis it became the ordinary ornament of a devotional cross, a way of setting his Mother's flower over the whole length of the wood. What this crucifix offers is the older kind of appeal: an object dense with pattern, made to be held and turned over rather than only looked at. The antiquing settles into the pattern a little differently on every casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fleur-de-lis 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":48943402221753,"sku":"3c3-981-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-981-B.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-fleur-de-lis-patterned-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
