Vintage Agnus Dei Heart Medal | Catholic Devotional Reliquary Pendant

A charming vintage Agnus Dei heart-shaped devotional medal with an original inner compartment.

This petite heart-shaped Catholic devotional medal bears the inscription “Agnus Dei” — Lamb of God — on the front.

The reverse features a finely engraved Christian cross, while the hinged/sliding construction reveals a small interior compartment containing an aged devotional insert.

The medal has a warm aged metallic appearance, with natural surface wear and patina that reflect its previous use and history.

Its small size makes it particularly intimate — the kind of devotional object that could have been carried close to the heart or kept among personal religious belongings.

The surrounding decoration, engraved symbols and worn surface give this little piece a distinctly vintage character.
