Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Angel Faces
Product Details
Four small faces keep watch at the ends of the Vintage Bronze Crucifix with Angel Faces. Each flared terminal carries a winged cherub head worked into the metal, and the arms between them are faceted with a raised centre line rather than left flat, so light runs along them toward the crossing, where the corpus is set beneath a rayed halo.
Angels at the four points of the cross are an old idea in devotional metalwork. They stand for the whole heavenly court gathered at Calvary, present at a death that looked from the ground like abandonment, and for the four corners of the earth the Crucifixion reaches. It gives a small piece a surprising amount of company. The antiqued bronze settles into the wings and faces so the four heads stay clearly legible at this scale.
The 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
