Siena Crucifix
The Siena Crucifix pendant speaks in the old language of Western devotion: the living, wounded body of Christ in low-relief, a tactile reminder that God entered our flesh and redeemed it. Its design draws from the great crucifixes of medieval Tuscany, where artists and craftsmen balanced naturalistic detail with liturgical purpose — not to satisfy the eye alone, but to awaken the heart.
In the West, from the great cathedral crosses to parish chapels, the three-dimensional Corpus became a favored form because it invites a personal encounter: hands rested in blessing, a head bowed in compassion, ribs and shoulders bearing the weight of our sins. This pendant translates that language into miniature: the sculpted figure calls the wearer to remembrance, contrition, and thanksgiving. It is a sign of the Paschal mystery — suffering and victory, death and risen life — worn close to the breast as both claim and comfort.
Note:
This crucifix is crafted to Catholic devotional and sacramental sensibilities: the Corpus is sculpted in the round and intended for Western-style private devotion and liturgical use. Because Eastern Orthodox practice generally favors iconic, flatter representations and different liturgical uses of the cross, a fully three-dimensional crucifix such as this is not typically used in Orthodox baptismal rites.
