The front is a single deep blossom, its broad petals folded around a knotted center with one leaf turned under, modelled so fully that the flower forms the whole outline of the piece. The flat reverse carries a haloed friar in his habit holding the Christ Child against his shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is Saint Anthony of Padua, the great Franciscan preacher, shown as he has been shown for centuries since the Child was seen in his arms one night by a man watching through a doorway. He is invoked for lost things and lost causes, and few saints are asked for help so often or so easily. The flower on the front belongs to him too, since the lily of purity is the emblem he carries in painted images, so both faces speak of the same saint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. Anthony 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":48943434367161,"sku":"3c3-749-YB","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-749-YB.png?v=1787688713","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-yellow-bronze-flower-and-st-anthony-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
