{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-large-peruvian-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Large Peruvian Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe largest crucifix in this group, and one of the handsomest. Its arms and shaft are engraved end to end with close herringbone banding that reads like plaited palm, the arms open into spreading fan-shaped leaves, a crested finial rises above the head of Christ, and the foot flares into a fluted spray. Against all that patterning the corpus is left slender and smooth, the head fallen to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe antique original is an eighteenth-century Peruvian piece. Crosses of this size were made for household altars and for confraternity processions as much as for wearing, and the deep, even engraving is the work of a well-practiced workshop hand. That plaited banding is a signature of Andean devotional metalwork, where the palm of Holy Week and the weaving traditions of the highlands meet in a single object. At three and three quarter inches it has real weight and reads clearly at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large Peruvian crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the crucifix's 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":48943657025721,"sku":"3c3-78-B","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-78-B.png?v=1787688785","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-large-peruvian-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
