{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-small-lilies-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Small Lilies Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Small Lilies Crucifix is light and pierced, set with small lilies. One opens at the end of each arm, another rises through the foot, and a raised bud sits at the crossing just above the head of the corpus, where a fan of fine rays spreads across the upright. The piercing between the flowers keeps the whole cross airy at an inch and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lily belongs to purity and to the Annunciation, the flower Gabriel holds when he comes to Mary, and a cross grown over with lilies is a quiet way of setting the Passion beside the promise that opened it. The idea is older than this piece by centuries: medieval artists drew the cross as a living tree in flower, the dead wood breaking into bloom because of what happened on it. Here it is done lightly, at a size that suits a small rosary or everyday wear, and the antiqued finish darkens the pierced ground so each blossom stands out on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lilies 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":48943443280057,"sku":"3c3-664-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-664-B.png?v=1787688715","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-small-lilies-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
