Each of its four equal arms is drawn as two curved bars that spring apart from the center and meet a short cross-bar tipped with three round balls, twelve in all, so that the metal traces the shape and the eye fills in the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form is the Occitan or Toulouse cross of the Languedoc in southern France, an emblem of that country for eight hundred years and long worn there as a devotional pendant as well as a badge of home. The twelve balls are read as the twelve apostles. With no corpus and no lettering, the piece is a pure line drawing in cast metal, and it wears very lightly for its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Occitan 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":48943600894137,"sku":"3c3-123-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-123-B.png?v=1787688766","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-small-openwork-cross-occitan-form","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
