Virgin and Blessing Child Medal
The Blessing Virgin and Child is a gold-plated christening medal depicting the Child, presented by his mother, opening his arms wide to bless.
A Virgin and Child who blesses
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. Our sculptor gave both halos the same design, like a single shared light. A medal whose meaning is immediate: the child being presented is blessed.
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 Blessing Virgin and Child is also available in solid yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver and in silver and mother-of-pearl.
