Vintage Bronze Small Curved Cross with Star Rosettes
SKU: 3c3-1275-B

Product Details
Everything on this small curved cross is made of dots. Rows of raised beads run around each arm, a little star rosette sits at the center of every arm and at the crossing, and the lower arm flares into a wide skirted foot edged with more beading. The whole piece is gently curved so it lies against the wearer, and the granulated surface sparkles quietly: high points catching light, recesses staying dark.
Beaded and granulated crosses like this one belong to a long folk tradition in which texture rather than figures carries the ornament, the star rosettes standing in for the light that the Church has always read into the cross. There is no corpus and no lettering, which makes it a restful piece to wear with anything and forgiving of daily handling.
The 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
