It is a simple image and a very old one, and it needs no explaining to anyone who has ever meant it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form belongs to the votive tradition, where a hand is offered in thanks for work restored or in petition for help, and the heart set into it turns the gesture into something closer to a vow: the heart given, and given openly. Charms of this shape have been made in silver and bronze around the Mediterranean and across Latin America for generations, pinned to shrine images or carried on the person. Nothing is lettered on it, and the back is left plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand and heart charm was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943594897593,"sku":"3c3-125-B","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-125-B.png?v=1787688767","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-hand-with-heart-charm","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
