Description from the seller
Agnus Dei in wax – Pontificate of John XXIII – Saint Charles Borromeo
Rare wax-benedicted Agnus Dei medallion, produced during the pontificate of Pope John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, 1958-1963).
Oval in shape, it bears on one side the relief bust of the sovereign pontiff John XXIII, surrounded by a Latin inscription.
The other side represents Saint Charles Borromeo, depicted as a cardinal, in prayer before a crucifix. The peripheral inscription refers to the saint.
The old accompanying label for the medallion notably bears the entries:
"ECCE AGNUS DEI QUI TOLLIT PECCATA MUNDI"
"IOANNES XXIII – PONT. MAX. – ANN. I"
"S. CAROLUS BORROMAEUS"
The mention ANN. I ("first year") allows us to relate this Agnus Dei to the early days of John XXIII’s pontificate, elected pope in October 1958, i.e. 1958-1959.
Beautiful Catholic devotional object, of interest both for its iconography, its papal character, and the presence of Saint Charles Borromeo.
Good overall condition considering the fragility of the wax and its age; slight irregularities and signs of use visible in the photographs.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully wrapped and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
