The figure wears a long robe and a halo, typical elements of Christian iconography. Two stylized plant motifs are visible on either side of the figure, adding an additional decorative touch to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal has a grey metallic finish, with matte and slightly patinated reflections, evoking the appearance of an ancient metal. The border is highlighted by a thin raised bead, accentuating the framing effect of the central subject. The attachment ring, also in a metallic finish, is well integrated into the overall design and allows for immediate use as a pendant or keychain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe relief work, though simple, offers good legibility of the volumes and attributes of the depicted saint. The surface shows some traces of wear and micro-scratches, typical of an object that has passed through several decades, which reinforces its authentic and retro character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is photographed on a light velvet case, which highlights the simplicity of its metallic appearance. No text or markings are visible on the front of the medal. The simplicity of the decoration and the robustness of the attachment ring suggest a classic traditional manufacturing, probably mid to late 20th century, in the spirit of popular devotional objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of religious medal is frequently used as a pendant, rosary charm, or good luck charm. Its refined style and natural patina make it a popular accessory for its spiritual dimension and timeless aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
