The arms end in lobed trefoils, every face is covered with fine cross-hatching, and small raised stars are set into the lobes and along the shaft, so the piece glitters a little as it turns. A beaded titulus above the head is lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the corpus is drawn long with the head fallen to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews\u003c\/em\u003e, the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross. Crucifixes decorated as densely as this one belonged to the family devotions of nineteenth-century Europe, cut deep enough to be read across a room, and the stars scattered through the ornament turn the wood of the cross into something closer to a night sky.\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":48943588016313,"sku":"3c3-1283-YB","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1283-YB.png?v=1787688764","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-yellow-bronze-ornate-crucifix-with-stars","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
