Product Details

Inside an openwork scalloped frame of eleven lobes, a haloed Virgin in a stiff conical mantle holds the Christ Child on her arm and floats above a band of waves, while three small figures ride in an open boat beneath her. The pierced border catches light around the darker field of the medal itself.

She is Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, patroness of Cuba. The three in the boat are the men caught in a storm in the Bay of Nipe who found her statue riding the water unharmed, and her shrine stands above the old copper mines that gave her the name. Cubans have carried this image for four centuries as the protector of anyone in rough water. The relief is shallow and softly worn, the surface of a picture handled by generations.

The Our Lady of Charity 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
