Tall lily stems rise on either side of her, their blossoms opening at the height of her shoulder, and the pale white bronze finish gives the whole image a cool, quiet luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lily is Mary's own flower, the sign of purity that Gabriel carries in every painting of the Annunciation and that has attended her image ever since. What makes this piece unusual is the drawing: the long unbroken line of the veil falling down her back is pure Art Nouveau, the style of the turn of the last century, when devotional art took up the flowing line of the poster designers. The relief is shallow and beautifully controlled, which is what allows so much detail to survive at this size. It is Mary at prayer rather than Mary enthroned, and that makes it a gentle presence in a nursery, a bedside corner or a small home shrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Virgin Mary with Lilies ornament was faithfully reproduced from an 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":48943411822777,"sku":"3c3-OR-07-WB","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-OR-07-WB.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-virgin-mary-with-lilies-ornament","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
