{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-open-crown-crucifix-elegant","title":"Vintage Bronze Open Crown Crucifix, Elegant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Open Crown Crucifix is pierced right through. Each of the four arms ends in an open crown of three points, and the field around the corpus has been cut away, so that what you see is largely outline, the cross drawn in air rather than filled in metal. The figure of Christ is slender and elongated, in keeping with the lightness of everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crowns are the point of the design. The one Christ wore on the cross was made of thorns and meant as mockery; the four here are the crowns of a king, set at the ends of the arms as though the cross itself had been enthroned. It is the reversal the whole Passion turns on, worked into ornament. Openwork of this kind also asks a great deal of a caster, since the thin sections have to run true or the piece fails in the mould.\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":48943441313977,"sku":"3c3-715-B","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-715-B.png?v=1787688713","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-open-crown-crucifix-elegant","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
