{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-simple-coptic-cross","title":"Vintage Bronze Simple Coptic Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Simple Coptic Cross is reduced to its bare form: four arms that narrow at the center and swell into soft rounded ends, with a longer upper arm shaped into a flat tapering head. There is no ornament at all, only the slight unevenness carried over from the antique original, which gives the metal the look of something long carried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrosses of this shape have been worn in the Coptic and Ethiopian churches for many centuries, often as the one piece of metal a person owned and never took off. Their strength lies in how little they ask: no corpus, no lettering, no argument, only the shape itself worn against the skin as a lifelong confession of faith. At two inches it has real presence while staying comfortable enough to wear every day without thinking about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coptic cross 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":48943434203321,"sku":"3c3-770-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-770-B.png?v=1787688714","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-simple-coptic-cross","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
