Virgin and Child Blessing Medal

The Blessing Virgin and Child is a christening medal in jewellery-grade mother-of-pearl rimmed in solid silver, depicting the Child, presented by his mother, opening his arms wide to bless.

A Virgin and Child who blesses, in mother-of-pearl and silver

Mary is seen in three-quarter view, a veil over her hair, a radiant halo behind her head; she holds the Child before her, one hand beneath him. He, upright, arms spread wide, looks straight ahead, haloed with rays as well. It is not the mother who is at the centre of the scene but the Child's gesture: the open arms of the one who welcomes and blesses. Carved in mother-of-pearl, the scene takes on the softness of a cameo, and the silver rim almost melts into its whiteness.
