The arms taper and lift slightly at the ends, where the metal rolls over into volutes, and a matching pair of scrolls fills the foot. Above the head of the corpus a small banner is furled across the upright, cast in the manner of a titulus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat banner is the interesting part. The titulus is the board Pilate had fixed above the cross, and devotional workshops usually gave it as a flat plaque; here it is a ribbon, caught mid-furl, which is a Baroque idea carried down into small metalwork. It gives the top of the cross a little movement against the stillness of the figure below, and it turns a legal notice into something more like a proclamation. The scrolled terminals answer it, so the whole cross reads as a single continuous line rather than four straight arms, which is what makes a piece of this size feel light on a rosary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scrollwork 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":48943441772729,"sku":"3c3-683-B","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-683-B.png?v=1787688713","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-scrollwork-crucifix-with-banner-titulus","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
