Beautiful religious medal made of silverplated metal. The religious pendant depicts Notre Dame de Genève (Our Lady of Geneva). It has been signed Hughenin.
"The Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva is the main Roman Catholic church in Geneva, Switzerland, the old Saint-Pierre cathedral being now a Protestant parish. The statue of Our Lady of Geneva, offered by the Pope Pius IX, is venerated. It is also a stopover for pilgrims going to Santiago de Compostela. The basilica marks somehow the beginning of the via Gebennensis, which extends from Le Puy-en-Velay in via Podiensis. The motto of Our Lady of Geneva is Nuntia Pacis, Latin for Peace Messenger."
Please take a close look at the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
