{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-virgin-mary-cross-medal","title":"Vintage Bronze Virgin Mary Cross Medal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Virgin Mary Cross Medal is a cross worked as a medal. Its arms are filled with fleur-de-lis ornament over a finely stippled ground, four openings are pierced at the inner corners, and the outline is scalloped all the way around. At the center, in a small clear field of her own, stands the haloed Virgin with her arms lowered and open in the pose of the Miraculous Medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece reads two ways at once, a cross from across a room and a Marian medal in the hand, which is exactly what these nineteenth-century French and Italian designs set out to do. Mary at the center of the cross is the theology in miniature: she stands there because her Son does, in the place the Gospel of John gives her, and the lilies filling the arms are her own flower repeated four times over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medal 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":48943435055289,"sku":"3c3-745-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-745-B.png?v=1787688711","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-virgin-mary-cross-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
