{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-rustic-timber-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Rustic Timber Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Rustic Timber Crucifix is a cross of rough, direct character, modelled as two hewn timbers with the grain and the tool marks left in the metal and the beam ends cut square. A plain board sits above the head where a titulus would ordinarily be lettered. Christ is long-limbed and simply drawn, the arms held almost horizontal, the loincloth knotted at the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strength of the piece lies in that contrast: the deliberate roughness of the wood against the smoothness of the figure. It is the crucifix as the Gospel describes it, a working timber raised on a hill outside the city walls, with none of the polish that later devotion gave it. Held in the hand it asks to be felt as much as looked at, and it carries well on a rosary meant for long, ordinary use.\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":48943524708537,"sku":"3c3-240-B","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-240-B.png?v=1787688744","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-rustic-timber-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
