The pendant is oval-shaped, with a molded bail and a solid ring, allowing it to be worn as a necklace or on a rosary. The surface has a matte metallic finish, typical of a silver-plated metal alloy, in line with the keywords provided, without indication of solid silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Virgin is depicted standing, arms open, draped in a veil and a long gown, according to the traditional iconography of the Miraculous Medal. Around the figure, an inscription in relief follows the perimeter: \"O MARY CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN PRAY FOR US WHO HAVE RECOURSE TO YOU\", legible on the upper and side areas of the medal. The engraving is precise despite some visible traces of oxidation, mainly on the lower part of the gown and around the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general patina of the metal and the slight wear on the reliefs attest to the age of this religious jewel, typical of productions from the second half of the 20th century. No additional decorative details are observable on the visible side, which focuses entirely on the representation and the Marian inscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is distinguished by its sober and authentic appearance, with no gilding or visible enamel on this side. Its robust design and wide ring allow it to be used as both a pendant and a prayer medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
