Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart Marquise Medal with Fleur-de-Lis carries the Sacred Heart at its center, wound about with the crown of thorns, a flame at the top and a small cross rising above it, thrown forward on a burst of finely engraved rays that fills the whole field. A narrow border of small florets rings the oval, and a fleur-de-lis stands at the top, at the foot and at either side.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is the warmest thing in Catholic piety: the love of Christ shown not as an idea but as a heart, burning, crowned with the thorns of his Passion and surmounted by the cross he carried. The fleur-de-lis has belonged to French devotional art for centuries as an emblem of purity, and its four appearances here set the Heart within a frame that is unmistakably French. No lettering was cast into the field, and none is needed; the imagery carries the whole meaning.
The Sacred Heart marquise 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
