Religious Medal

The item is a small, rectangular, silver-colored religious medal or pendant. It appears to be constructed of metal, possibly a base metal with plating that has significantly worn or tarnished, as evidenced by the dark coloration and pitting visible on the surface. The obverse of the medal features raised imagery and text. At the top is a Latin cross. Below the cross is a prominent capital letter 'M'. Below the 'M', there appears to be a stylized rendering of hearts, likely the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, though the details are somewhat obscured by wear and possibly corrosion. The borders of the medal are decorated with a raised dot pattern. A small ring is attached at the top, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or attached to a chain or rosary. The overall condition shows significant signs of age and use, including tarnishing, surface scratches, pitting, and potential loss of plating. The details of the design are somewhat softened due to wear. The reverse side is not visible in the image. The style suggests it is likely a Miraculous Medal or a similar Catholic devotional item, potentially from the 20th century. The craftsmanship appears to be that of a mass-produced item rather than fine jewelry, indicated by the slightly rough surface and lack of intricate detail.
