Vintage Bronze Four Way Cross Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Four Way Cross Medal is the familiar pattern: a cross with four lobed arms, a burst of rays at the crossing, and a small devotional relief set on each arm. The lowest and clearest is the standing Virgin of the Miraculous Medal, rays falling from her open hands, and another shows a figure carrying a child on his shoulder, St. Christopher for those on the road.
Medals of this pattern gathered several patronages into a single inch of metal so that one medal would serve where four would not, and they became among the most commonly worn of all Catholic medals. There is no lettering anywhere on the piece; the images were expected to be known on sight, which they were. This casting keeps the rounded, softly rubbed surface of the original rather than a crisp modern strike.
The four way 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
