{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-saint-christopher-landscape-medal","title":"Vintage Bronze Saint Christopher Landscape Medal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Christopher Landscape Medal is worked as a small scene rather than a portrait. Christopher wades through the river with his staff in one hand and the Christ Child seated on his shoulder, both figures haloed, the Child's hair cut in a burst of rays. A tree stands at the right, rocks break the water at the left, clouds are drawn in fine lines across the sky, and a small engraver's mark sits in the lower corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe legend has the ferryman carrying a child across a flooded river and finding the weight almost past bearing, because he was carrying the one who made the world. That is the whole of the story and the reason he is patron of travelers: the journey is heavier than it looks, and the burden turns out to be the blessing. A medal like this one has ridden in a great many cars and pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Christopher 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":48943442231481,"sku":"3c3-674-B","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-674-B.png?v=1787688716","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-saint-christopher-landscape-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
