A double-sided solid silver medal, guardian of two ancient protections.
This 19th century pendant unites Saint Roch, invoked against cholera, and Saint Hubert, patron of hunters, in crisp, lively relief on either side. The warm, natural silver patina speaks to a genuine antique piece, worn and passed down through time.

The relief is crisp and well defined on both faces: on one side, Saint Roch in bust, pilgrim's staff over his shoulder, encircled by the inscription "St Roch sauvez nous du choléra"; on the other, the vision of Saint Hubert in the forest, with the stag, horse, and hounds, beneath "St Hubert priez pour nous." The original bail and the silver hallmark confirm the piece's authenticity.
Wear it as a pendant on a chain, add it to a charm bracelet, or simply keep it as a collector's piece.

An authentic, hallmarked piece with beautifully preserved relief: it's rare to find both saints united on a single medal in such fine condition.
This antique solid silver medal, hallmarked and dated to the 19th century, combines authenticity with strong symbolism as Saint Roch and Saint Hubert come together on one French religious pendant.
