There is no cross behind the figure: the outstretched arms of Christ \u003cem\u003eare\u003c\/em\u003e the crossbeam, tapering to points at either end, and the body falls straight into the shaft below. Ribs, loincloth and the fall of the head are cut in a handful of blunt strokes, and the surface is left rough and pitted rather than smoothed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe effect is severe and very old, closer to a forged object than a cast one, and it belongs to the long tradition of folk crucifixes made where a carver's hand mattered more than a workshop's polish. Stripped of ornament, of lettering and of frame, it says one thing only, and says it plainly: the body of Christ given on the cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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":48943403139257,"sku":"3c3-827-B","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-827-B.png?v=1787688702","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-primitive-figural-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
