    Description

    All our listed items are original Christian devotionals. Some may have been cleaned or polished before their arrival, by their last caretaker. Their use is for personal devotion. St. Elijah is honored on July 20; he is the patron of the Carmelite Order.
    Here on consignment for sale from one of the convents we work with is an 18 th century nun's rosary-belt-clip medal. The Prioress wrote to tell us that a small catch of these medals was recently discovered in one of their storage rooms. Their sale will help their community during these troubled times.
    The medal is 2 inches hanging length and it weighs 27 grams. It is a large medal that would have hung from the nun's leather belt-clip.
    This medals dating can be confirmed on pages 2 & 3 of the book AN INTRODUCTION TO RELIGIOUS MEDALS, by Bob Forrest, and published by NUMISMATICA INTERNATIONAL in 2004.In addition, this book has chapters (outlined in the table of contents), describing each of the categories of medals, their possible place of pilgrimage (acquisition), and origin of the mint where they were made. We recommend that anyone serious about collecting medals from this period, acquire a copy of this book.
