{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-openwork-our-lady-with-angels-medal","title":"Vintage Bronze Openwork Our Lady with Angels Medal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Openwork Our Lady with Angels medal is cut almost entirely through, so the design is read as much by the light behind it as by the metal. At the centre stands a small crowned Virgin in a wide triangular mantle worked with fine incised pattern, and a pierced ring around her carries winged angels and cherub heads, with short rays breaking outward past the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat stiff, wide mantle belongs to the Latin American tradition of the dressed Virgin, where a shrine statue is vested by the faithful in embroidered robes that widen to the floor, and where the robe itself becomes an act of love. The angels around her are her court. Devotion of this kind treats Mary as a queen surrounded by her household, and the openwork frame turns the idea into structure, so that the Virgin is quite literally held in a ring of heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Openwork Our Lady with Angels 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":48943403270329,"sku":"3c3-917-B","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-917-B.png?v=1787688702","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-openwork-our-lady-with-angels-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
