Two tall angels stand facing one another, their wings sweeping down the outer edges and their heads bowed inward, and between them an oval opens onto the Virgin shown half-length, rays behind her head and her hands folded across her breast. A winged cherub head is set into the pierced scrollwork at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hands drawn over the heart are the gesture Christian art gives Mary at the Annunciation, the moment of her consent, and the angels flanking her here are the court that has attended that moment in devotional imagery for centuries. The drawing of the wings and the whiplash curves of the lower scrollwork place the original at the turn of the twentieth century, when Art Nouveau reached even the smallest devotional castings.\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 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":48943406219449,"sku":"3c3-825-B","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-825-B.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-mary-with-angels-openwork-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
