In religious art, the Virgin Mary is almost always depicted with a blue cloak. This choice is not due to chance and dates back to the Old Testament. The color of the fidelity of the people of Israel to the commandments of God, blue was also the color of the fabric which covered the Ark of the Covenant.
According to Christian doctrine, the laurel is a symbol of eternity and chastity because its leaves do not deteriorate and is associated with the image of the Virgin Mary.
Very good state of conservation, the back of the medal can be engraved.
