Vintage Virgin Mary Pendant and 20 in Chain.

Vintage Virgin Mary pendant. This type of vintage religious jewelry uses a dome of clear resin or lucite to seal and protect the artwork. Over several decades, exposure to light, oxygen, and moisture naturally turns the clear coating a deep yellow or amber color, creating this distinct vintage patina. The symbols engraved on the back carry specific religious meanings in Catholic tradition. The left side of the back of the medal has dents. See photos.
