Vintage Yellow Bronze Simple Christening Crucifix, 7/8 inch
Product Details
The Vintage Yellow Bronze Simple Christening Crucifix is plain in every part: squared arms, a lightly stippled surface, a scrolled titulus banner riding above the head, and a corpus modelled softly with the head inclined toward the right shoulder.
This is the size traditionally chosen for a christening, small enough to lie flat against a very young child and light enough to be forgotten while it is worn. Many are kept rather than worn, put away with the baptismal candle and the white gown and given back years later, at a confirmation or a wedding, when the child is old enough to understand what it meant. The warm yellow tone suits that kind of keeping, and the softness of the modelling is part of the original's character rather than any loss of detail.
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
