Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Pax Peace Medal is the largest and most open-handed piece in this group. Five doves wheel across the front with olive sprigs in their beaks and stars scattered between them, all turning around the single word PAX at the centre. The relief is broad and shallow, so the whole face reads clearly at arm's length.
The reverse is the reason to own it. A lit torch crossed with an olive branch stands at the middle, and around it is cast the word for peace in more than a dozen tongues — PAZ, МИР, FRED, VREDE, PEACE, PACE, PAIX, FRIEDEN, POKOJ and more, in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and East Asian letters. It is the same prayer said the whole way round the rim in the languages of the people who need it, which is very much the point of a peace medal at an inch and a half across.
The Pax peace 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
