{"product_id":"vintage-white-bronze-grand-baroque-crucifix","title":"Vintage White Bronze Grand Baroque Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Baroque Crucifix is the largest and most ornamented cross in this collection. Every arm breaks into pierced acanthus leaf with a fleur-de-lis set at its heart, and a small crown-like crest rises above the titulus. Against all that movement the corpus is kept quiet, the head fallen to the right, the body long and lightly modeled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe little plaque above the head carries the four letters \u003cem\u003eINRI\u003c\/em\u003e, for the Latin \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the title Pilate ordered fixed to the cross. The pierced acanthus and the fleur-de-lis terminals follow a French baroque pattern, in which the ornament was never decoration for its own sake but a way of making the cross flower. White bronze gives the piece a cool, silvery tone that suits the depth of the piercing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Baroque 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":48943619080377,"sku":"3c3-1179-WB","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1179-WB.png?v=1787688771","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-grand-baroque-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
