The arms are flat and plain and the shaft tapers to the foot, which leaves all the ornament in one place: a broad shell opening behind the head of Christ, its surface divided into small panels with a lattice worked inside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe corpus is fully modelled and unsparing, the head fallen to the right, the ribs drawn, the loincloth knotted at the hip. Spanish crucifixes have always been the frankest in the Catholic world about what happened on the cross, and that honesty, more than any ornament, is what carried them from Spain through the Americas and the Philippines. The shell above the head is the one flourish the design allows itself, and in white bronze it catches light like the scallop it imitates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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":48943503900857,"sku":"3c3-420-WB","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-420-WB.png?v=1787688730","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-spanish-crucifix-with-shell-crest","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
