At the center, in a domed oval, a tonsured friar in a heavy habit holds a small child on his left arm, the child reaching toward him, and around that oval runs a wide pierced border of wirework loops, rosettes and round beads, three deep at the edge, in the manner of old filigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe friar and the Child are the long-established image of \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Anthony of Padua\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Franciscan preacher asked for the return of what has been lost and kept as patron of the poor. The Child in his arms comes from the story of a host who looked in and saw the room filled with light and Anthony holding the infant Christ. The openwork border keeps a medallion of real presence from wearing heavy, and each casting is hand-finished, so the beading takes the antiquing a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medallion was faithfully reproduced from a seventeenth-century 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":48943638610105,"sku":"3c3-1067-B","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1067-B.png?v=1787688780","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-anthony-and-the-child-medallion","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
