Vintage Catholic Religious Medal Christ Crucifix Old Round

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This round Catholic religious medal features a relief depiction of Christ on the cross (Crucifix) on its visible side. The iconography is surrounded by a partially legible inscription, from which "CHRIS ... DE L'ANCE ..." can be distinguished. The motif is crafted in slight relief, typical of old devotional medals, with a robust suspension ring integrated into the upper part.

The medal displays a patinated metallic finish, evoking prolonged use and traditional manufacturing. The surface shows some traces of wear and a homogeneous patina, testifying to its age and visual authenticity. The edges are rounded and regular, with no apparent chips on the visible side.

The suspension ring, also with a metallic finish, is solidly attached and shows slight oxidation, consistent with the overall vintage appearance. The style of the engraving, typography, and relief suggests artisanal or semi-artisanal production, typical of the mid to late 20th century.

The medal is placed on an ornate baroque-style background, highlighting its reflections and emphasizing its sacred character. No other symbols or marks are visible on this side. The object is perfectly suited for a chain, a religious bracelet, or as an element of an antique rosary.
