The medal has an elongated and stylized shape, characteristic of certain religious productions from the mid-20th century. The visible side shows a gilded or metallic finish, with finely worked relief highlighting the serene and delicate features of both faces. The central motif, the Virgin leaning over the child, is framed by a discreet halo and textured details on Mary's veil. The scene is full of gentleness, with great attention paid to the expression of the characters and the overall harmony of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metalwork, visible on the surface, features a slightly hammered texture around the halo and clean lines to emphasize the drapery of the veil and the Virgin's protective hand. The overall appearance is sober yet refined, typical of devotional objects intended for first communion or private devotion. No markings, date, or signature are visible on the presented side. The medal is photographed on a white background and framed by an ornate antique frame, which underscores its sacred and decorative character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main color is a matte or slightly patinated gold, bringing a warm and timeless touch to the object. The reliefs are well preserved, without apparent signs of major oxidation or deep scratches on the visible side. The representation remains faithful to traditional Catholic iconography, while adopting a sober graphic treatment, probably inspired by French productions from the 1950s to the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is made of metal with a gold finish (according to the keywords), which gives it both elegance and robustness. The general style and fine execution suggest a liturgical or commemorative use, particularly for first communion, as well as a function as a faith relic or everyday devotional object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e  \nUsed item, sold as is.
