1 3/8" Colonial Spain Cross Antique Vintage Model CR631

1 3/8" Colonial Spain Cross (34.9 mm) – Antique Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This Colonial Spain Cross measures approximately 1 3/8 inches (34.9 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, carefully recreated in sterling silver or gold bronze. Its bold and expressive design reflects the strong devotional artistry that flourished throughout Spain and its colonies during the colonial period.

The piece is a Latin Cross, distinguished by its vertical orientation and slightly shorter cross arms. The central intersection of the cross is adorned with a prominent raised floral or rosette motif, symbolizing divine blossoming and spiritual vitality. The arms of the cross flare outward in a naturalistic, almost branch-like form, suggesting organic life springing from the Tree of the Cross — a common theme in devotional art of the Iberian world.

The modeling is deeply textured and tactile, emphasizing handwork over refinement. This rustic quality is characteristic of Colonial Spanish religious folk art, where the sacred meaning of the object was emphasized more than formal perfection. The simple yet powerful form would have been immediately recognizable and cherished by the faithful, serving both as a personal devotional emblem and a symbol of cultural and spiritual identity.

This Colonial Spain Cross is ideal for wearing as a devotional pendant, incorporating into heritage or folk art jewelry collections, or treasuring as a spiritual reminder of faith rooted in history and tradition.

Its traditional Spanish Colonial cross design radiates simplicity, strength, and the enduring sacred spirit of early Spanish devotional artistry.
