The disc is deliberately irregular, its surface left rough under the hammer, and eight round bosses stand up around the rim like the studs of a small shield. At the center a veiled Virgin with a broad plain halo holds the haloed Child on her lap, a fleur-de-lis rising beside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lily is Mary's own flower, its three petals long read as her purity and as the Trinity she served. The reverse keeps the same handmade feeling, a cross incised on a chevron with eight stars scattered around it in no strict order. The frontal pose and unmodelled halos owe something to Byzantine icons, while the working of the metal is pure folk craft, and the antiqued finish pools in every hammer mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hammered Madonna 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":48943650242745,"sku":"3c3-1034-B","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1034-B.png?v=1787688783","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-madonna-and-fleur-de-lis-hammered-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
