{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-two-sided-vine-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Two-Sided Vine Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is barely a straight line in the Vintage Bronze Two-Sided Vine Crucifix. The cross is formed entirely of interlaced vines, looped ovals at the head and foot, split leaf-shaped arms, a knot of stems drawn behind the figure, so that the corpus seems held in a living framework rather than nailed to a beam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is worked just as fully and is worth turning over. The same interlace repeats, but where the corpus sits on the front there is a four-petalled flower at the crossing, with a small bud opening on the lower shaft. Read together the two faces make the old point plainly: the wood of the cross becomes the tree of life, and what was an instrument of death puts out flowers. It is a crucifix that rewards being handled and looked at closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":48943403237561,"sku":"3c3-811-B","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-811-B.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-two-sided-vine-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
