The medal on this necklace is of Notre Dame de la Garde, the statue on top of the highest church in Marseille, France. It is a statue of the Blessed Mother and the child Jesus. The anchor at the bottom and the rope around the border are symbols of the Marseille Port and Bay of Marseille that she and her Son watch over.

The reverse of the medal has the inscription "Marseille." Marseille is the oldest city in France (2600 years old!)

The medal hangs on an 18 inch Italian 18K gold vermeil chain.
