Its four arms close in fleur-de-lis terminals with small volutes scrolling back toward the crossing, a fluted panel stands above the head of Christ, and the corpus is remarkably clearly drawn for the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fleur-de-lis has served for centuries as a Marian emblem, the lily of purity, and it recurs constantly on French devotional metalwork. Here it softens a crucifix into something fitted to a baptism, and the pairing is a true one, since baptism is exactly where a child is joined to the death and the rising that this cross carries. Nothing is lettered on the piece, which leaves any keepsake card free for a name and a date, and the warm yellow tone suits a gift meant to be kept long after the day itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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":48943497445561,"sku":"3c3-457-YB","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-457-YB.png?v=1787688727","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-yellow-bronze-christening-crucifix-with-fleur-de-lis","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
