Around the whole runs an openwork oval of scrolls and clustered berries, so the piece reads almost as a small grille.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWings and armor together are how St. Michael has been shown since the earliest Christian art: the archangel who casts down the dragon, captain of the heavenly host, invoked in the old prayer as a defense in the day of battle. He is patron of soldiers, of police and of the sick, and of anyone who wants a guard at their shoulder. The antique original is an eighteenth-century Paris piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. Michael 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":48943638479033,"sku":"3c3-1074-B","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1074-B.png?v=1787688779","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-winged-warrior-medal-st-michael","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
