The object features a silver-coloured metal structure with a matte finish, slightly patinated by time. The rectangular plaque with a rounded top is adorned on the front with a central medallion in relief depicting the Virgin Mary, surrounded by two praying figures. The legible inscription \"NOTRE DAME DE BONSECOURS PRIEZ POUR NOUS\" (Our Lady of Bonsecours pray for us) appears in an arc on the medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe border of the medallion is integrated into a stylized architectural support, evoking Art Deco with its geometric and refined lines. Two praying angels are depicted in relief on each side of the base, adding a symbolic touch to the whole. The details of the central motif and the angels are finely molded, giving the piece both a decorative and sacred dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface shows traces of oxidation or patina, indicating the object's age. The reliefs remain well-defined despite natural wear. No chips or breaks are visible on the front.
