Vintage CHARLES THOMAE Sterling St Michael the Archangel Religious Medal
Vintage marked STERLING with the Charles Thomae hallmark religious medal of St Michael- the back of this medal is blank and very shiny- so it appears to be rhodium plated to resist tarnish. The medal measures approximately 13/16ths of an inch tall not including the bail.
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. It is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the supposed excesses of the Second Empire and socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.
