Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart of Jesus Figural Medal
Product Details
Christ is shown to the waist on the Vintage Bronze Sacred Heart of Jesus Medal, long-haired and lightly bearded, a pierced rayed nimbus opening behind his head and his right hand raised toward his breast. There the heart stands out in relief, encircled by thorns, crowned with a small cross and cut with short rays that spread across the front of his robe.
The whole devotion turns on that gesture, the hand indicating the heart, a love shown rather than described. It is the substance of what was promised to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque at Paray-le-Monial: a heart that had so loved the world, asking in return only to be loved back. Nothing is lettered on the piece. The pierced nimbus stays bright while the antiquing holds in the recesses, so the heart reads clearly at any distance.
The Sacred Heart 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
