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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevotion 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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":48943531229369,"sku":"3c3-1581-B","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1581-B.png?v=1787688743","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-heart-marquise-medal-with-fleur-de-lis","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
