AVE MARIA FLAMING SACRED HEART MEDAL

I was very fortunate to find this rare Ave Maria medal in high relief.

Ave Maria holds a Flaming Sacred Heart pierced by a sword ,which I believe, symbolizes her pain of the crucifixion. The heart radiates heavenly grace.

I've never seen a medal solely dedicated to Ave Maria as this one or one as detailed.

It is incredible!
