On the front a woman stands in a rocky niche, veiled and mantled, a long rosary over one arm and her hands joined, with roses opening at her feet — the Virgin as she is shown in the grotto images of the Immaculate Conception. The relief is deep, and the rock closes around her like a frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse gives a spired and jewelled reliquary shrine standing on a stepped base, with \u003cem\u003ePELERINAGE DE RENNES\u003c\/em\u003e arched above and below: Pilgrimage of Rennes. Beside the shrine stands the mark of Penin-Poncet of Lyon, one of the great French medal houses of the nineteenth century.
