On one side the Virgin stands veiled with her hands joined at the breast, her robe reduced to a few long straight planes falling unbroken to her feet. On the other, Christ stands haloed with his long hair and a hand drawn across his breast, handled in exactly the same stripped-down way. Only the halo, the hands and the fall of cloth are allowed to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Art Deco devotional work at its most confident, from the years when French and Belgian medalists were paring sacred images back to line and plane. Neither face carries lettering, and none is wanted; the whole effect depends on silhouette, which is why a design of the 1920s still looks modern nearly a century on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Art Deco medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943503835321,"sku":"3c3-417-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-417-B.png?v=1787688732","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-art-deco-medal-of-christ-and-the-virgin","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
