Vintage Yellow Bronze Assumption of Mary Star Halo Ornament
Product Details
The Assumption of Mary ornament shows the Virgin standing alone with her hands crossed on her breast, her head circled by a ring of twelve stars and her cloak falling around her in heavy folds. A cloud gathers at her feet as though she were rising from it, and a border of leaves and small flowers closes the oval above and below.
The crown of twelve stars comes from the Book of Revelation, where a woman appears clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. The Church has long read that woman as Mary, and the Assumption is the feast of what became of her: taken up body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life, the first of the redeemed to arrive where the rest are going. Her crossed hands say the rest. She is not seizing glory but receiving it.
The Assumption ornament was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the piece'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
