The medal is made of metal, consistent with the keywords mentioned, with a slightly patinated matte finish visible on the front. The embossed border frames the central scene and highlights the details of the face and hands, as well as the circular inscriptions in capital letters, part of which is legible around the portrait (\"S. Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the medal has a hole integrated into its structure, allowing it to be attached to a simple metal ring, ideal for wearing as a pendant or for hanging on a chain or cord. The visible surface shows traditional striking work, typical of 20th-century devotional objects, without superfluous decorative elements, which reinforces its sober and spiritual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main color is silver, with a slight patina from use that attests to its age. No enamel or stones are present; the medal relies on the purity of the metal and the fineness of the relief. The floral motif, consisting of roses, is finely engraved alongside the saint, accentuating the symbolism of Saint Thérèse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscriptions, although partially visible in the photo, confirm the religious iconography and the dedication to Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus. The reverse is not visible in the image, so the description strictly concerns the presented obverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is placed on an old wooden box with a gilded decoration, which highlights its classic style and its traditional use in Catholic devotion. The ensemble offers a beautiful example of a devotional medal, typical of vintage religious objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
