Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Simple Christening Crucifix is plain in every part: squared arms, a lightly stippled surface, and a corpus modelled softly with the head inclined toward the right shoulder. A scrolled titulus banner rides above the head. Nothing competes for attention, and the whole piece comes down to the figure and the quiet ground behind it.
A crucifix like this one is the traditional gift at a christening, the first thing of the faith a child owns, small enough to lie flat against a very young chest and often kept back to be given again at a confirmation or a wedding. White bronze suits that purpose, holding a soft silver tone that reads as understated rather than showy, and the stippled ground catches light unevenly the way old worn metal does.
The christening 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.
- 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
