Each arm finishes in an open loop, a scrolled oval of openwork frames the crossing behind the corpus, and a long pierced panel runs down the shaft below the feet, so that light passes through the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet on the upright above the head is a small raised plaque lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, the abbreviation of \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. This is the titulus, the board Pilate ordered nailed above the cross to state the charge, written in three languages so that everyone passing could read it. What was meant as mockery the Church has kept as a title, and it is cast here cleanly and clearly. At this generous scale the pierced work keeps the piece surprisingly light.\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":48943503933625,"sku":"3c3-410-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-410-B.png?v=1787688732","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-large-openwork-crucifix-with-inri","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
