This is an older Vintage at least 20++ year old, very beautiful, Larger Brass Pendant/Medallion of Saint Anthony of Padua, or as the front reads in Latin: S ANTONIO DI PADOVA and on the back: in Latin, O LINGUA BENEDICTA..loosely translated to English: "Oh God Bless and Praise, Speak well of." The Engraving on both sides is much more intricate than my pictures show. As well, I cleaned this up and any "marks" or small surface only tiny scratches are Minimal, considering the age of this Pendant, which is well over 20 years. The pictures, magnified show any larger than they truly are. On the front, all the way to the right side(about center) a bit above & to the right top of the letter A, appears a dark mark. Looking at it while holding this pendant, it is about the size of a pencil point mark. Measures: 1 inch in width and 1 1/16" Tall, without including it's nice size bail. With the bail, it is 1 5/16" Tall. Not a light-weight Pendant. Weighs 7 grams. In Very Good++ Vintage,+ Condition, I used to wear it on a piece of Dark Brown Leather Cord, as the bail opening is fairly big. Beautiful & substantial, meaningful pendant, medallion. I have not worn it in quite some time, hard to part with, But too Beautiful to sit unworn, Thanks For Looking! HAPPY BIDDING:) I am adding a GIN Option, Want to be fair..and this is truly a remarkable one-of-a-kind (would be hard to find another) I believe it came from Belgium?? but it has been so long, I do not remember!
