Antique Sterling Silver Miraculous Medal Pendant
An ornate antique sterling silver devotional medal featuring intricate religious imagery on both sides. The front showcases the traditional Miraculous Medal design, with the Virgin Mary standing within a radiating oval and surrounded by the French inscription, “O Marie conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous” — a prayer invoking the Immaculate Conception. Above the central image is a small circular portrait of a haloed religious figure, appearing to depict Jesus.
The reverse features an elaborate Marian monogram beneath a cross, surrounded by raised stars and two dimensional hearts traditionally associated with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Two small haloed religious figures appear at the top, adding another layer of devotional detail.
Beautifully dimensional relief work, ornate detailing, and meaningful religious symbolism make this a particularly distinctive example of antique devotional jewelry.
