{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-lace-and-filigree-crucifix-small","title":"Vintage Bronze Lace and Filigree Crucifix, Small","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Lace and Filigree Crucifix is worked into something close to lace. The arms are pierced through and filled with curling foliate scrolls, each ending in a scalloped, leaf-shaped terminal, and a bed of leaves gathers at the foot. The corpus is finely modelled and left plain against all that openwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiligree of this kind was the specialty of the small devotional workshops of the nineteenth century, where the fineness of the piercing was the whole point of the piece — a cross made mostly of light, with the figure held at its center. Small and light in the hand, it suits a child's rosary or a devotion carried every day without ceremony. Held up to the light, the pierced arms give the pattern twice over, once in metal and once in shadow.\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":48943443083449,"sku":"3c3-672-B","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-672-B.png?v=1787688714","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-lace-and-filigree-crucifix-small","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
