Almost looks like those amazing 17th century skull and bones on old gravestones.</p><p>So this religious medal depicts the &#039;Sainte Chemise/Holy Shirt&#039; of Chartres.</p><p>One side depicts Jesus on the cross, the other side is Mother Mary with baby.</p><p>The Chartres Cathedral is a very important pilgrim spot, and they posses a veil that is believed to have belonged to the Virgin Mary, worn at the birth of Christ.</p><p>This religious medal would have been a Pilgrim s token, a souvenir or a token to show that you went on Pilgrimage.</p><p>So...I have seen a few online, but I m not sure about the date of this one...everyone says something else.</p><p>16th/17th/18th/19th century, anyone an opinion? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
