Crowned Virgin and Child
The Crowned Virgin and Child is a gold-plated christening medal depicting Mary crowned, her long hair loose, holding the sleeping Child against her.
A crowned Virgin, her hair loose
Mary wears a chased diadem set on long wavy hair that falls freely over her shoulders, without a veil: this is what sets this model apart from all the others. 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. Our sculptor held the two together: maternal love in majesty.
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 Crowned Virgin and Child 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.
