Vintage Bronze Trefoil Crucifix, Simple Elegance
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Trefoil Crucifix gives everything to the figure of Christ. The arms are smooth and unbroken, widening at the ends into soft trefoil lobes, and the corpus is polished bright against a darkened ground, so that nothing pulls the eye away from the fall of the shoulders and the knees.
A cross like this one asks for attention rather than admiration. The three lobes at each terminal are an old shorthand for the Trinity, and they are the only ornament the piece allows itself: no titulus, no lettering, no border. That restraint is what makes it so easy to live with, whether it finishes a rosary or hangs quietly through an ordinary day. Generations of Catholics have prayed before crosses exactly this plain, and the plainness is the point, since the Passion needs no decoration to be understood.
The trefoil 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
