Catholic religious medal Virgin profile silver-plated finish pendant

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This Catholic religious medal features a relief profile of the Virgin Mary, identifiable by her veil and halo. The motif is worked in a slight bas-relief on the visible side, with a distinct circular outline and an integrated bail at the top for suspension as a pendant. The Virgin's face, turned to the left, is distinguished by delicate features and a gentle expression, highlighting the finesse of the modeling work.

The medal has a matte silver finish, with some visible signs of wear on the surface, particularly around the outline and the reliefs, which gives the whole a subtle patina. The halo, in the background, accentuates the sacred character of the representation. The edges are well-defined, without superfluous decorations, giving the object a sober and timeless style, typical of 20th-century Christian medals.

The reverse side of the object is not visible in the photo, so no inscription or mark is mentioned. The bail, well integrated into the structure, allows for immediate use as a pendant on a chain or cord. The medal rests on a light background, which brings out the gray tint and the slightly satin appearance of the piece.

The sculpture offers an interesting play of shadows, highlighting the relief of the face and veil. The simplicity of the design, without ornamental overload, suggests production likely intended for daily use or as a gift for a religious event (baptism, communion, confirmation).

The general style, the classic representation of the Virgin, and the silver finish place this medal within the tradition of 20th-century Catholic religious objects, although without a visible mark, it is not possible to attribute a precise origin.
