Catholic Pendant?

[gossunc]

Found this in the backyard the other day...looks like a Catholic pendant about 1.25" X 1" . Bronze or gold coated plastic? Very light, but my Garrett Ace 250 picks IDs it in the bronze/gold range. Image looks like a bas relief figure of Christ holding a staff ensconsed in glass. Thanks!

I'm not catholic, but to me that looks like the relief of a pope

You better not be mad at Cyn...........I'll get the boys together, toss you around a bit. lol

Nothing on the back...through a magnifying glass, image sure looks like Christ...w/beard and crown of thorns? Lots of Portugese settlers in my area...maybe some kind of Portugese Catholic Church charm similar to a St Christopher's medal? I'll google away and see what I can find.

....I dont know...googled San Judas Tadeo and here is where I am having difficulty....any picture of a saint,Jesus or Mother Mary...the halo is directly behind their head....not sitting over the top...

Chagy:

Believe that you have really narrowed it down.

Googled it, and although, I could not find a medal similar to this posted one, the similarities are there.

Perhaps, the one posted here came from St. Jude hospital gift shop.

Saint Jude Thaddeus = San Judas Tadeo. Saint of lost causes. St. of the impossible.

Nice work!

Got the problem fixed, here you go.....

[Gypsy Heart]

still doesnt resemble the pendant ....line up the head gear cant see it....and begining to think that staff like thing or sceptar is a rust spot on the glass....I blew it up and doesnt match the rest...

 

[Chagy]

He has the wood stick on the his left and the big medal in his chest.....Thats San Judas Tadeo..Hehhhhehhh do a good engine search and you will find the match....I am to busy right now.....

Best,

Chagy.....

 

[gossunc]

Chagy,

Think you've nailed this one--thanks. That is a scepter or a staff in his hand, not a rust spot. Don't think anyone's going to find an exact match to this on Google...very cheap--metal coated plastic. Probably given away at Church to a kid back in the '40s or '50s and subsequently lost in my yard while they were playing.

I'm still puzzled about the clock and the 9 as gypsyheart noticed.

Also, the relief seems to be of an overweight person which I believe would be unusual for a Saint.

I think that we need to do a little more work on this one.
