Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Agnus Dei Lamb of God Medal shows the lamb at rest, its head turned back toward a staff, a small cross standing in radiance above it. The scene sits in a scalloped frame of scrollwork and beading with a spray of fruit and blossom gathered below, the fleece cut in short strokes that catch the light against a finely textured ground.
The Agnus Dei is among the oldest signs in Christian art. It carries the words the Baptist spoke at the Jordan, behold the Lamb of God, and the words the priest still speaks before Communion, so the whole Paschal mystery is gathered into one quiet figure. Nothing on this piece is lettered, which leaves the image to say everything, and at nearly two inches across it reads clearly as a pendant or hung where it can be seen.
The Agnus Dei medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique Latin American original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal'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
