Vintage Bronze Haloed Figure in a Mountain Landscape
Product Details
This medal is unusually pictorial. A veiled figure with a rayed halo walks a path through a stand of pines, rocky peaks rise behind, more trees climb the far slope, and something small is carried low in one hand. The whole scene is modelled in soft, even relief, closer to a landscape plaque than to a devotional emblem.
What it is about is the walking. High country, a narrow path, a solitary traveler under a light the walker carries with him, which is what every pilgrimage turns into somewhere past the first day, whatever shrine it set out for. Medals like this were made for people on the road and kept in a pocket through the long climb, and the stillness of the scene is the whole of its subject.
This medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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
