The Baptism of Christ Medal
The Baptism of Christ is a gold-plated christening medal depicting the scene at the Jordan: Jesus in the water, John the Baptist baptising him, the dove above them.
The scene at the Jordan, in relief
Jesus stands in the water, hands crossed on his chest, haloed; John the Baptist, clothed in his animal skin, holds the reed cross and pours water over his head; the dove of the Spirit descends in a radiance; on the bank, two kneeling angels hold Christ's garments, a palm tree behind them. A complete scene, composed by our sculptor with its successive planes. For a christening medal, the most direct subject there is: the child receives the sacrament that Jesus himself received.
Mayaud gold plate
This medal is made in Mayaud gold plate: a French-made solid gilded brass base, struck under the same engraved die as the gold version, covered with a 3-micron layer of 18-karat (750/1000) gold. Made in our Paris workshop.
Diameter, engraving and variations
Offered in 18 mm, the classic size. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. The Baptism of Christ is also available in solid yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver, in silver and mother-of-pearl and in vermeil.
