Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Mary Magdalene Medal carries nothing but the figure: a young woman turned in three-quarter profile, her head lifted, her long hair loose and drawn back over her shoulder, her hands brought together at her breast. The modelling is soft and painterly and the field behind her is left bare, so the whole weight of the piece falls on the upward look of her face.
Loose, unbound hair is Mary Magdalene's oldest attribute in Western art, the hair with which she dried the feet of Christ, and she is remembered as the first witness of the resurrection, sent from the garden to tell the others. There is no lettering here, and no ointment jar. The reading rests on the figure herself and on the quiet attitude of prayer she has been given, which is a fair likeness of what she is loved for.
The Mary Magdalene 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
