Vintage Bronze Simple Christening Crucifix, 7/8 inch
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Simple Christening Crucifix is small and entirely plain: squared arms, a lightly stippled ground, a scrolled titulus banner above the head, and a corpus modelled softly with the head fallen toward the right shoulder.
A crucifix at this scale has one purpose, and it is an old one. It is the size given at a baptism, small enough to lie flat against an infant, and it is usually the first religious object a Catholic owns. Most are kept safe for years and returned to the child later, at a first Communion or a confirmation, so that the cross laid beside the font is the same one worn afterward. Nothing about it competes for attention; the modelling is quiet and the surface takes an antiqued finish evenly.
The christening crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the cross's 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
