Crowned Virgin and Child Medal
The Crowned Virgin and Child is a christening medal in jewellery-grade mother-of-pearl rimmed in solid silver, depicting Mary crowned, her long hair loose, holding the sleeping Child against her.
A crowned Virgin, her hair loose, in mother-of-pearl and silver
Mary wears a chased diadem set on long wavy hair that falls freely over her shoulders, without a veil; her eyes lowered, she inclines her face towards the Child, swaddled, asleep against her breast. The crown speaks of the Queen of Heaven; the loose hair and lowered gaze speak of the mother. Carved in mother-of-pearl, the scene takes on the softness of a cameo, and the silver rim almost melts into its whiteness.
