Product Details
The Christ Carrying the Cross Openwork Pendant is one of the larger pieces in the collection, and it is pierced throughout, so the design reads as a lattice of light and metal. Within the frame a robed figure stoops forward under a heavy cross laid diagonally across the field, one knee giving way beneath the weight. Scrolls, leaves and clustered fruit build the frame around him, gathered at the top beneath a small winged head.
The subject is the road to Calvary, the walk that became the heart of the Stations of the Cross and the one moment of the Passion every Christian is asked to imitate directly. The fruiting vines worked around the figure are not decoration only; they are the harvest that the walk produces. At nearly three inches the pendant has genuine presence, and the pierced ground keeps a piece of this scale from feeling heavy.
The pendant was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
