Description

This commemorative medal from Archérie de Pierrefeu is presented in a burgundy velvet case, adding an elegant touch to the ensemble. Round in shape, it features an openwork and enameled design, combining gold with red and black hues. The visible side displays a graphic composition with a stylized crown in the center on a background of concentric lines evoking an archery target, topped by two crossed bows. The inscription "ARCHERIE DE PIERREFEU" is clearly legible in the upper part, while at the bottom are the inscriptions "C.A.S.E.L. F.F.T.A". These elements refer to a French club or association affiliated with the French Archery Federation.

The medal has a glossy finish with a golden appearance, with clean contours and precise cut-out work. The details are highlighted by red enamel filling, which contrasts harmoniously with the golden background. No major defects are visible on the front, which maintains a beautiful homogeneous appearance. The medallion is presented in a burgundy velvet fabric case with a black interior, which enhances its metallic reflections and design.

The general style evokes a production from the late 20th or early 21st century, typical of medals made for sporting events or associative commemorations. The object stands out for its meticulous finish and its symbolic character, reinforced by the presence of a crowned emblem and crossed bows, recurring symbols in the world of archery.

This limited edition promotional medal has strong decorative and commemorative potential for archery enthusiasts or collectors of objects related to French amateur sports. It represents a tangible testament to local sports association life, while also being a beautiful display or desk item.
