A raised, irregular rim set at intervals with heavy pellets rings a field worn soft, and within it a haloed half-length figure leans to one side, an arm lifted toward something held before them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe antique original behind this casting was carried for a very long time before it was set aside, and the softening of the relief is part of what the reproduction preserves. The halo is the whole statement: a saint kept close, worn against cloth and skin until the detail gave way to the touch. Small medals like this were the ordinary furniture of European devotion, pocketed, pinned, sewn into the lining of a coat, and their beauty now lies in exactly that quietness rather than in any sharpness of finish.\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":48943402746041,"sku":"3c3-814-B","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-814-B.png?v=1787688702","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-beaded-border-medal-with-haloed-figure","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
