Vintage Bronze Christ Carrying the Cross Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Christ Carrying the Cross Medal is among the most eloquent pieces in the line. On the front Christ is crowned with thorns and sinking beneath the weight of the beam laid across his shoulder, one hand raised, a rayed halo behind his head and flowering branches breaking into the field around him. His face is turned toward the viewer.
The reverse is given over entirely to lettering, cast in seven lines and divided by a lunette, rosettes and a small fleuron: EL QUE SIGUE LA JUSTICIA Y LA MISERICORDIA HALLARA VIDA JUSTICIA Y GLORIA, from Proverbs 21:21, he who follows justice and mercy shall find life, justice and glory. Beneath the verse stand the name Dr. EMILIO FORERO and the date ENERO 12 DE 1908. The original was struck in Latin America as a commemorative, a private occasion set permanently in metal beside a public promise.
The medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's 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
