The corpus is set against a large fluted shell that fills the crossing behind him and throws the figure forward, beaded bands cross the shaft above and below, and both side arms finish in small crown-like crestings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell has stood for baptism since the earliest Christian centuries, the vessel that pours the water and the badge worn by pilgrims on the road to Compostela, and behind a corpus it doubles as a fan of rays. A crown rises above the head and a lobed foot closes the shaft, so the design is bracketed at both ends rather than simply stopping, and Christ is crowned above and glorified behind. At an inch and three-eighths it reads clearly from across a room.\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":48943422603449,"sku":"3c3-801-B","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-801-B.png?v=1787688702","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-formal-crucifix-with-shell-rays","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
