{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-assumption-of-mary-medal-french","title":"Vintage Bronze Assumption of Mary Medal, French","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Assumption of Mary Medal is shield-shaped, with a small boss at each shoulder and a rounded point at the foot. Mary stands within it on a bank of cloud strewn with roses, her arms lowered and opened outward and a small nimbus above her head. The field behind her is left plain, which is what makes the piece work: nothing competes with the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Assumption is the feast of Mary taken up body and soul into heaven, kept on the fifteenth of August, and the roses belong to the old account of the apostles opening her tomb and finding it filled with flowers. This French pattern makes a fine piece for that feast, for a Marian consecration, or simply for someone who prefers a medal without lettering on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":48943466741945,"sku":"3c3-585-B","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-585-B.png?v=1787688721","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-assumption-of-mary-medal-french","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
