Vintage Bronze Flight into Egypt Coptic Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Flight into Egypt Coptic Medal carries the journey on one face and its name on the other. Joseph walks ahead with his staff while Mary rides the donkey with the Child in her arms, a further figure between them and foliage crowding the edge of the round field. It is the Gospel's account of the Holy Family's exile, the night on which Christ himself became a refugee.
The reverse is lettered in three lines of Coptic beneath a wheel cross, and reads the flight of Christ into the land of Egypt. Coptic is the last stage of the Egyptian language and remains the liturgical tongue of the Coptic Church, which keeps its own feasts and shrines along the route the Holy Family is remembered to have traveled. Few small medals name their subject in so old a language.
This 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
