The arms end in squared, stepped terminals filled with a small Greek key fret, and the shaft behind the corpus is finely striated so the figure stands out against a ruled ground. The effect is architectural rather than florid, and at an inch and a quarter it wears easily under a collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaque above the head is lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, short for the Latin \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews\u003c\/em\u003e. Those were the words Pilate had fixed to the cross, written out in Hebrew, Greek and Latin so that everyone passing could read them, and meant as mockery. The Church has cast them above the corpus ever since as a plain statement of fact. On a crucifix this restrained they carry more weight than any amount of ornament would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tailored crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the crucifix's 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":48943612494009,"sku":"3c3-1204-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1204-B.png?v=1787688770","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-tailored-crucifix-with-greek-key-ends","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
