Round in shape, it features a raised relief representation of the profile of the Virgin Mary, with her head bowed, against an intense, deep blue enameled background. The border of the medal is adorned with a raised gold inscription: \"IMMACULÉE CONCEPTION 1858-1958,\" clearly visible and legible on the front. The ensemble displays a harmonious color combination between the blue of the enamel and the gold appearance of the border, giving the medal both a classic and elegant aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe detail of the Virgin's face is delicately drawn, with sharp lines and a sense of depth created by the contrast between the blue enamel and the raised areas. The visible metal bail on the upper left allows the medal to be attached to a chain or ribbon, making it suitable for wearing or display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface has a patinated appearance, with some signs of wear and traces of oxidation on the gold border, testifying to the piece's age and authenticity. The blue enamel remains vibrant, although slight variations in shade are observed, likely related to the manufacturing technique of the era. No major chips are visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is highlighted on a bright yellow cushion, which brings out the medal's colors. No other decorative elements are integrated into the medal itself, emphasizing its simplicity and spiritual dimension. The commemorative inscription \"1858-1958\" suggests a connection to the centenary of the Lourdes apparitions, though no other historical details are indicated on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of the medal, the choice of blue enamel, and the raised lettering are typical of French religious productions from the mid-20th century. This type of medal was frequently offered during pilgrimages or on significant anniversaries related to the Immaculate Conception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
