{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-open-circle-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Open Circle Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Open Circle Crucifix sets a slender ring behind the crossing, so the corpus is framed by a circle of metal with daylight showing through it. The arms are pierced along their length and flare into notched ends, and a small crown-like ornament rises above the head of the cross where the titulus usually sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA circle behind the cross has a long history, from the ringed high crosses of Ireland to the wheel crosses of northern Europe, and it has always been read the same way: the endless set behind the one moment in time, eternity standing around a death. Here it also lightens a cross that reaches nearly two inches, letting the figure read against open air rather than solid metal, so the piece keeps its presence without its weight.\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":48943434858681,"sku":"3c3-743-B","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-743-B.png?v=1787688713","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-open-circle-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
