Vintage Bronze Fleur-de-Lis Crucifix Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Fleur-de-Lis Crucifix Medal is cut to the outline of a fleur-de-lis, its three lobes rimmed with fine beading, with a crucifix laid across the whole. The corpus falls at the centre where the lobes meet, the shaft of the cross runs down through the base of the flower, and a small heart sits at the foot.
The fleur-de-lis has been read for centuries as an emblem of Our Lady, the lily of purity and the flower of Israel, so a piece that sets the crucified Christ within it holds mother and Son together in a single shape. The heart at the foot carries the same thought a step further, toward the Virgin who stood at the cross and the sorrow she took away from it. It is a compact statement of a devotion that keeps Mary and the Passion in one view.
The medal 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
