Product Details
A haloed woman fills the face of this small round medal, shown from the waist up, veiled and mantled, her head slightly bowed and her hands joined at her breast. The modeling is soft and unhurried, and the halo is cast as a plain raised band rather than as rays, which gives her a stillness that suits the pose.
Hers is the oldest attitude of prayer in Christian art: hands together, eyes lowered, everything else set aside. Medals like this one were made to be carried in a pocket or worn close, a plain companion for daily prayer rather than a display piece. The reverse turns to three open daisy-like flowers on their stems, spread across a plain ground, the flowers of the field that the Gospel sets above all of Solomon's glory and a quiet answer to the figure on the front.
The Praying Saint 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
