Lovely antique miraculous medal, or the medal of Our Lady of Graces, in 18ct yellow gold (750/1000e).
Oval in shape, it depicts the Virgin Mary on one side, encircled by the words "O Marie concue sans peche priez pour nous qui avons recours a toi" (pray for us who have recourse to you), with the date 1830 below. On the back, the twelve stars symbolize the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles, the heart encircled by a crown of thorns is the heart of Jesus, the heart pierced by a sword is the immaculate heart of Mary, and the cross and bar symbolize trial.
The Miraculous Medal is a traditional devotional medal linked to the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Paris, rue du Bac, in 1830. Very fine engraving.
