The visible side features detailed relief work depicting a Christian scene: a standing female figure, haloed, carrying a cross and accompanied by a lamb at her feet. A bird in flight is also visible in the upper right part of the medal, adding a symbolic dimension to the composition. The details of the drapery, the cross, and the lamb are finely carved, demonstrating traditional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the medal shows a slightly grainy texture and uniform signs of wear, characteristic of an object that has passed through time. The suspension ring, attached at the top, allows this medal to be worn as a pendant or attached to a rosary. The contours are clear but show some irregularities typical of old manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general hue of the metal is silvery gray, with matte reflections and some visible marks of oxidation or natural patina on the surface. No text or mark is legible on the side shown, leaving all the focus on the religious scene in relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe iconographic style and general appearance evoke French religious production from the first half of the 20th century, although the mention of \"vintage\" in the keywords suggests an object probably dating from the 1940s to the 1970s. The simplicity of the decor and the representation of the saint and the lamb are typical of Catholic religious art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is placed on a case with a gold-colored decoration, which highlights the contrast between the brilliance of the metal and the richness of the background. The ensemble gives an impression of authenticity and spirituality, ideal for devotional use or as an antique religious jewel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
