Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart Pendant with Scrollwork gives most of its generous size to the frame. Christ appears to the waist within a round relief, a rayed halo behind his head, one hand raised in blessing and his robe drawn open to show the flaming Heart. Around that circle runs a broad eight-lobed border of pierced C-scrolls, deep enough to throw real shadow.
The Sacred Heart is the plainest image the Church has for the love of God: not an idea but an organ, opened and burning, shown by Christ himself with his own hand. The devotion took particularly warm hold in Latin America, where images like this one were worn openly, worn daily and worn out, and the confident cut of this scrollwork belongs to that tradition. The frame makes the quiet figure at the center read from across a room, and the antiquing sits differently in every curl.
The pendant was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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
