Product Details

The Vintage Bronze Our Lady of Lujan Medal brings the patroness of Argentina to a piece an inch and an eighth across. The upper field holds the little Virgin of Lujan in her stiff cone-shaped robe with a rayed halo behind her, and in a panel below stands the twin-spired basilica raised in her honour, with LUJAN lettered around the field.

The reverse tells the story rather than naming it. An ox-drawn cart stands halted in open country, and below it a group of figures gathers around a low chest. This is the founding tradition of the shrine: in 1630 a cart carrying a small terracotta image of the Immaculate Conception north from Brazil would not move again until that one crate was lifted down, and the image was left where it stopped. A chapel rose on the spot, then the basilica, and Lujan has been the heart of Argentine Catholic life ever since.

The Our Lady of Lujan 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
