Description
Altar Cross with IHS Emblem
IHS is an ancient monogram formed from the first three letters – Iota, Eta and Sigma – of the Greek word for Jesus: IHSOUS. The letters also represent the phrase Iesous Hominum Salvator: Jesus, savior of man.
Our Altar cross complements both contemporary and traditional church decor and wipes clean with brass cleaner. Some assembly required.
Pair with matching Altar Candlesticks (#KC485, sold separately) and Altar Vases (#LC914, sold separately) for the complete altar collection.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning & Polishing
* Dust regularly with a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
* For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water; rinse and dry immediately.
* Occasionally polish with a soft silver-polishing cloth to restore shine.
* Never use abrasive pads, harsh polishes, or chemical cleaners.
Tarnish Prevention
* Tarnish is natural over time; minimize it by storing items in an anti-tarnish cloth or airtight box.
* Avoid prolonged exposure to air, humidity, or direct sunlight.
* Do not leave liquids, food, or acidic substances on the surface for long.
Storage & Handling
* Store in a cool, dry place.
* Wrap or place items separately to avoid scratches.
* Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent stains or dullness.
* For functional pieces (like trays or bowls), line with fabric or use liners to protect the plating.
Note: With gentle cleaning, mindful storage, and occasional polishing, your brassware item will retain its brilliance for years.
