Vintage Bronze Rounded Crucifix with Leaves
Product Details
The Rounded Crucifix with Leaves is worked end to end in leaves, buds and small blossoms, so the softly rounded arms read as a living branch. The front carries the corpus with a leafy spray opening behind the head, and the reverse repeats the same foliage with an open flower set at the crossing. Both faces are finished, which is uncommon at this size.
The flowering cross is one of the oldest ideas in Christian art: dead wood that puts out leaves, the instrument of execution turned into the tree of life. The medieval hymns sing of the cross as a tree in blossom, sweet wood bearing a sweet burden, and this small crucifix says the same thing in bronze. The antiqued finish settles into the foliage and brings each leaf forward.
The rounded 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
