Casting off characteristics of traditional medal design, Modernist medallists during the early to mid-20th century created pieces with bold shapes and vivid colors. This artsy modernist medal dates from mid-twentieth century France centers on an imagery of Saint Marcelle, a Christian ascetic in the Byzantine Era. After her husband's early death, she decided to devote the rest of her life to charity, prayer, and mortification of the flesh. Saint Marcelle is the patron Saint of poor and the sick.

A cross is on the verso. The medal is crafted in bronze and decorated with glassy enamel in dark blue, red, white, black, taupe and cream. It measures 1 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs order in at 20.1 grams.

The medal is by Élie Pellegrin (1914-2001) a famous French sculptor born at the beginning of WWI into a devoutly Christian family. His staunch faith became a major influence in the wonderful art that he created during his life.
