{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-praying-angel-cross","title":"Vintage Bronze Praying Angel Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Praying Angel Cross carries a winged cherub head at its crossing and, just beneath it, a pair of hands folded in prayer. Each of the four arms flares out into a fleur-de-lis, so the whole cross reads at a glance as a flower opening around the angel at its heart. The reverse is scattered with small raised bosses that catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an unusually tender treatment of the cross, and one that has always suited a child's first cross or a gift marking a beginning, a baptism or a first Communion or a name day. The guardian angel keeps watch at the shoulder of whoever wears it, and the joined hands beneath say plainly what the piece is for. There is no lettering; the meaning is carried entirely in the modelling. The fleur-de-lis terminals and the cherub head belong to the French devotional tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Praying Angel Cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the cross'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":48943625830585,"sku":"3c3-1149-B","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1149-B.png?v=1787688773","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-praying-angel-cross","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
