Each arm encloses a wide lobed opening, and within each opening a lily unfurls, so that the corpus appears to hang in a frame of flowers. A further spray rises from the foot, and a small titulus sits above the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lily is the flower of purity and of the Resurrection, and setting it around the corpus turns the cross into a garden, Calvary and the empty tomb held in a single image. The original belongs to the tradition of devotional metalwork carried to the Philippines with the Spanish missions and worked there for centuries in local hands. At 2 3\/8 inches it is a large piece, kept light and airy by all that piercing.\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":48943459762361,"sku":"3c3-632-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-632-B.png?v=1787688716","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-philippine-lilies-openwork-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
