This antique medal depicts Mary Magdalene at the foot of the cross. Mother Mary and Saint John are also in the image and the words MATER, meaning "Mother" - it was the moment Jesus said from the cross "Mother, behold thy son." The reverse of the medal is the nativity scene of the manger. The medal is 18K gold vermeil and so is the bail. The medal measures 23x33mm without the bail. It hangs from an 18 inch Italian 18K gold vermeil chain.
