The Holy Family

The Holy Family is a christening medal in jewellery-grade mother-of-pearl rimmed in solid silver, depicting Mary, Joseph and the Infant Jesus together, in a gesture of shared tenderness.

Mary, Joseph and the Child, in mother-of-pearl and silver

Mary, a veil over her hair, holds the Child nestled against her, cheek to cheek; Joseph inclines his head towards them and holds a lily, attribute of his purity; the three halos overlap in a fine line. It is the image of the family of Nazareth, model of the Christian family, from Manufacture Mayaud's historic collection. Carved in mother-of-pearl, the scene takes on the softness of a cameo, and the silver rim almost melts into its whiteness. A medal given for a christening as for a wedding or a birth.
