The embossed inscription around the visible edge reads \"SAINTE FOY PRIEZ POUR NOUS\" (Saint Faith Pray for Us), reinforcing the liturgical and protective aspect of the object. The medal has a classic round shape, with a thick integrated loop at the top for hanging, typical of devotional objects worn as pendants or attached to a rosary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the medal displays a marked patina, indicating the object's age. Its visual appearance suggests bronze or a bronze-finished alloy, with dark and golden reflections. The details of the saint's face, silhouette, and clothing are finely chiselled, though slightly softened by the wear of time, giving the whole an authentic and vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe relief of the motif is still clearly visible to the naked eye, particularly the halo surrounding Saint Faith's head and the contours of the martyr's palm she holds. The attachment loop is integral to the medal and also shows consistent wear with the rest, with no visible signs of repair on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal rests on a decorative white lace background (not included), which highlights its warm tones and antique style. The typography of the capital letters is typical of religious productions from the first half of the 20th century, suggesting an artisanal or semi-industrial manufacture from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of antique religious medal is appreciated for its retro style, its symbolism, and its ability to accompany prayer or serve as a good luck charm in daily life. The object, with its sobriety and patina, fits perfectly into liturgical uses or a decorative display on a suitable support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
