Vintage White Bronze Holy Child Medal, Consecration of 1914
Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Holy Child Medal shows a haloed Child standing on a low plinth in a long embroidered tunic, one hand raised in blessing and a tall flowering staff held in the other, framed by two olive branches. The figure follows the dressed and crowned statues of the Holy Child kept in the churches of Spain and Latin America.
The reverse is a document in miniature. Eight lines of Spanish among laurel sprays read CONSAGRACION EPISCOPAL DE Mons. JOSE A. LUQUE, OBISPO TIT. DE FORNOS Y AUXILIAR DE CORDOBA, CORDOBA, OCTUBRE 28 DE 1914 — the episcopal consecration of Monsignor Jose A. Luque, titular bishop of Fornos and auxiliary of Cordoba, at Cordoba on 28 October 1914. Medals like this were given to the guests on the day a priest was made a bishop, and that date belongs to the antique original.
The Holy Child medal was faithfully reproduced from that 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
