Vintage Bronze St. Joan of Arc Rosary Center with Lilies
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze St. Joan of Arc Rosary Center with Lilies shows Joan in profile within a round medallion, young, her hair cut short at the jaw and armour at her shoulder. The frame around her gathers two crossed sword hilts, sprays of lily, and a ribbon below carrying a date. This is Joan as French devotional art loved her, soldier and maiden together, the sword and the lily given equal weight.
The ribbon reads 1909, the year Joan of Arc was beatified, and the antique French original was made to mark it. She heard her voices as a farm girl in Domremy, led an army at seventeen, and died at nineteen at the hands of the court that condemned her; the same Church later declared her innocent, then blessed, then a saint. The lilies stand for the purity she guarded through every campaign, the swords for the work she believed she had been sent to do.
This rosary center 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
