Cross and heart alike are covered with punched concentric rings, and the arms finish in small beaded knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form takes its name from Yalalag in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, where crosses of this shape have been worn for generations and where Christian devotion and older local meaning have long lived together in one object. The heart lifted on wings beneath the cross reads as the soul rising, love borne upward by the Passion above it, and at nearly three inches the piece carries that meaning with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Yalalag cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original found in Oaxaca 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":48943656796345,"sku":"3c3-83-B","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-83-B.png?v=1787688784","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-yalalag-cross-with-winged-heart","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
