Vintage Bronze St. Michael Shield Medal, Two Hearts
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze St. Michael Shield Medal makes its shape part of its meaning. On a shield, Michael stands in Roman armour with his wings spread, sword lifted and buckler on his arm, over the coiled serpent, with a small cross cast into the lower field beside him. Around the edge runs SANCTE MICHAEL ARCHANGELE O.P.N., Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
The reverse turns from battle to tenderness. Two hearts stand side by side, the Sacred Heart crowned with a cross and the Immaculate Heart set about with lilies, both flaming, beneath a rayed star in a field scattered with smaller stars. Worn together the two faces make one of the oldest pairings in Catholic devotion: protection asked of the archangel who casts down the enemy, refuge sought in the two hearts that receive whoever comes. At seven-eighths of an inch it is a compact medal that says a great deal.
The St. Michael shield 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
