The modeling is bold and a little rough, so the horse and rider stand well clear even at this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mounted lancer over a dragon has been the image of St. George since the crusading centuries. He is patron of soldiers, of those who ride, and of anyone contending with something larger than themselves, and the beast under the hooves has always stood for whatever needed conquering. Placing him inside a pilgrim's scallop belongs to the folk devotional work of the Americas; the original of this one is Argentine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. George Shell 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":48943473197241,"sku":"3c3-554-B","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-554-B.png?v=1787688724","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-george-and-the-dragon-shell-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
