Vintage Bronze Child Jesus with Orb Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Child Jesus with Orb Medal shows the Child standing on a low bank of cloud, one hand lifted in blessing, the other steadying a small globe surmounted by a cross. It is the Salvator Mundi gesture given to a child's figure, and the effect is disarming rather than imperial. The medal itself is a tall kite shape with crisply faceted corners cut in fine rays.
The orb beneath his hand is the world, and the cross above it says who holds it: the whole of Christ's kingship carried by a child small enough to be lifted. The plain, angular framing belongs to the deco period, when devotional metalwork borrowed the geometry of the day without losing its subject. It is a piece for anyone drawn to the childhood of Christ, and a fine keepsake for a godchild.
The medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
