The modeling is bold and a little rough, so horse and rider stand well clear of the ribbed ground even at this small size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mounted lancer over a dragon is the long-established image of St. George, patron of soldiers, of those who ride, and of anyone contending with something larger than themselves. Setting him inside a pilgrim's scallop is an unusual and rather beautiful touch, and it belongs to the folk devotional metalwork of the Americas; the original is Argentine. Nothing on the piece is lettered, and none is needed.\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 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":48943473492153,"sku":"3c3-554-WB","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-554-WB.png?v=1787688726","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-st-george-and-the-dragon-shell-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
