Vintage Bronze Lily of the Valley Crucifix
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Lily of the Valley Crucifix is a crucifix in flower. The arms widen toward flared, notched ends and every terminal is filled with a spray of small bell-shaped blooms hanging from arching stems, with a further cluster above the head and another at the foot of the shaft. The corpus is modelled in fine relief and sits quietly within all that growth.
Lily of the valley has long been read as a Marian flower, the white bells that come up in shade and, by tradition, the flowers that sprang where the Virgin's tears fell at the cross. Set on a crucifix they put her at the foot of it without depicting her, which is a subtle piece of design on a piece this small. It is the kind of detail that rewards a second look after years of wearing.
The Lily of the Valley 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
