The ground behind them is heavily stippled, so the two figures come forward bright out of a dark, granular sky, and a small scrolled crest tops the medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is left almost bare: a single lily stem in low relief laid diagonally across a plain field, flower and leaves. The lily is the flower of purity and the flower carried by the angel of the Annunciation, and putting it alone on the back leaves the front to say everything else. Guardian angel medals were classically given to children at a baptism or a first communion, on the strength of the promise that their angels always behold the face of the Father, and this is a particularly warm example of the type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guardian angel 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":48943550169273,"sku":"3c3-1459-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1459-B.png?v=1787688749","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-guardian-angel-and-child-medal-1459","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
