Virgin and Child with the Lamb Medal

In solid silver, the Virgin and Child with the Lamb, after Bouguereau, keeps its Agnus Dei asleep against the Child.

A Virgin and Child in silver

Mary, a long veil laid over her hair, lowers her eyes towards the Child nestled in her arms; his eyelids are lowered over the lamb he holds in both arms, the Agnus Dei, its head resting against his chest. The composition comes from The Virgin of the Lamb painted by William Bouguereau in 1903. The Lamb of God, named by John the Baptist at the Jordan, gives this christening medal its most direct meaning; the satin-finished silver clearly distinguishes the fleece, the child's skin and the veil.

A christening medal struck in the traditional way in solid silver

Like our gold medals, the Virgin and Child with the Lamb is produced by stamping: the solid 925/1000 silver blank is struck under the same engraved die as the gold version, which gives exactly the same relief, crisp and lasting, then satin-finished to soften the reflections. The silver weighs 3.60 g in 18 mm. Made in France, in our workshop.

Diameter, engraving and variations

Offered in 18 mm, the classic size of the christening medal, the one that is worn for life. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. The Virgin and Child with the Lamb is also available in 18-karat yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl and in silver and mother-of-pearl, to be worn on a trace or curb chain in solid silver.
