Description

This vintage religious medal features a circular design with a patinated bronze appearance, topped with a wide, spiral-patterned bail, ideal for wearing as a pendant. The visible side presents a central insert of bright blue enamel, whose modeled surface reveals a subtle relief motif, characteristic of certain stylized religious representations. The combination of the gold-finished metal and the colored enamel gives the whole an elegant retro aesthetic, typical of the mid to late 20th century.

The blue enamel center features iridescent nuances, oscillating between turquoise and deep blue, with some green reflections depending on the angle of the light. The relief suggests a figurative scene, potentially a representation of the Virgin or a saint, but the precise details remain abstract in this photo. The perimeter of the medal is openwork with regular cutouts, bringing a graphic and light effect to the piece. The bail, firmly attached, has a rounded shape, facilitating attachment to a chain or cord.

The entire medal displays an authentic patina, with slight traces of oxidation visible on the metal, reinforcing the vintage charm of the object. No inscription or mark is legible on the visible side of the medal. The enamel appears well-preserved, with no apparent chips or visible cracks on this side. The structure of the medal remains regular, with no notable deformation.
