It is a collectible sterling silver medal with reflective cut metal highlighting of one of the more unusual Madonnas in Western culture: Notre Dame de Liesse (Our Lady of Liesse). The legend is that the original statue of this Madonna and Child was brought back to their native Picardy in France, by two Knights Hospitaller, who received it from an angel when they were being held hostage by the Saracens while on Crusade, and who later escaped with help from the Sultan's daughter whom they had converted to Christianity.

The medal is 3/4” diameter, made in FRANCE, with the word written on the attachment loop, and with several sterling hallmarks on the blank reverse near the bottom. In Very Fine condition, it comes with a good working 8” diameter fine link chain (not sterling) in a beautiful 2 by 3” presentation box.
