Casting off characteristics of traditional medal design, Modernist medallists during the early to mid-20th century created pieces with bold shapes and vivid colors. This artsy modernist medal dates from mid-twentieth century France centers on an imagery of the Madonna and Child.
The Latin inscription on the reverse is a line in the Hail Mary prayer: MATER DEI, ORA PRO NOBIS PECCATORIBUS, NUNC, ET IN HORA MORTIS NOSTRAE. AMEN (Mother of God, pray for us sinner's now and at the hour of our death, Amen.) The medal is crafted in bronze and decorated with glassy enamel in dark blue, white, black, light blue , yellow, and taupe. It measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and weighs in at 20.7 grams.
The medal is by Élie Pellegrin (1914-2001) a famous French sculptor born at the beginning of WWI into a devoutly Christian family. His staunch faith became a major influence in the wonderful art that he created during his life.
