Massive Vintage Dark Bronze Crucifix, Heavy! Quite an interesting vintage bronze crucifix. Very heavy and large at 3" in length and over 53 grams. Unusual design with the Tau shaped cross and fully robed Jesus. Note that the feet are side by side- there is a myth circulating online that only crucifixes from before 1830 have the feet side by side- here is a prime example of why that is a myth! Sold for $40.00 Sweet Little Rotating Saint Shrine This is a lovely little European rotating shrine- the front opens and closes as you rotate the outer part- revealing a tiny golden saint within. People carried these as they traveled, soldiers were known to carry them into battle. I believe it is St. Theresa, but I can't tell for sure. This sweet little shrine is a tad over 2" in height. The metal is a silverybrass color and the little saint within is bright gold. I would place this as a mid-20th Century piece.
