Antique Saint Mary Magdalene Medal Sainte Baume – Gold Plated French Religious Medal – 23mm Catholic Pendant

Beautiful antique French religious medal dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene and Sainte-Baume, the famous pilgrimage site in Provence traditionally associated with the saint.

The front features a finely detailed depiction of Saint Mary Magdalene in profile, with a halo and her hands joined in prayer. A large cross rises behind her, while to the right appears the perfume or ointment jar, one of Mary Magdalene's traditional attributes in Christian iconography.

The engraving is particularly delicate, with lovely details to her face, flowing hair and draped clothing.

The reverse is decorated with a large cross surrounded by an elegant leafy branch and bears the French inscription:

“Ste Mie-Madeleine de la Ste Baume”

This inscription refers directly to Sainte-Baume in Provence, France, an important historic pilgrimage site devoted to Saint Mary Magdalene.

The medal is made of gold-tone, gold-plated metal, with a beautiful warm golden patina that enhances the finely worked relief.

Details: diameter 23 mm / 0.91 in; weight 5.4 g; gold-plated metal; original suspension loop; chain not included.

A beautiful piece of French Catholic devotional jewelry, perfect for a religious medal collection or to wear as a meaningful pendant.

Good antique condition with light signs of age and wear consistent with its history. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
