{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-gothic-crucifix-with-quatrefoil-ends","title":"Vintage Bronze Gothic Crucifix with Quatrefoil Ends","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Gothic Crucifix closes each of its four arms in a quatrefoil terminal, pierced at the centre with small beads set at the points. The corpus is modelled in the round against the slender shaft, the head fallen to one shoulder, with a plain square plaque above it. Everything else is left to the architecture of the cross itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form follows the quatrefoil-ended crosses of medieval metalwork, where the four-petalled flower carried the four Evangelists and the four corners of the earth the Gospel was sent to. A crucifix like this rewards slow looking rather than quick reading: four flowers opening outward, and the figure at the centre perfectly still. The antiqued finish settles into the recesses of the terminals while the raised edges and the corpus stay bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gothic 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":48943531819193,"sku":"3c3-1560-B","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1560-B.png?v=1787688744","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-gothic-crucifix-with-quatrefoil-ends","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
