The modelling is soft and unfussy, the sort of quiet portrait made for a medal meant to be worn under clothing rather than admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse carries no lettering at all. A single sheep grazes on a bank beside a planted shepherd's crook, with a leafy branch and three open roses rising behind it. The pastoral scene belongs to her girlhood as a shepherdess at Nanterre, before the years in which she became the protectress of Paris, turning back famine and flood and, by her prayers, the army that threatened the city. She has been its patron for fifteen centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943555674297,"sku":"3c3-1444-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1444-B.png?v=1787688750","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sainte-genevieve-medal-sheep-and-roses","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
