Large bronze religious medallion depicting Santa Teresa, 1600s-1700s. 28.1 grams, roughly 2" x 1-3/4". Much larger than the usual medallion, boldly detailed despite minor corrosion (nice brassy color), the design with mother and child (Mary and Jesus) on the obverse and PROTECTO CARMELO in the legend and Santa Teresa on the reverse with SM TERESA in the legend and ROMA in exergue, significant as commemorating the 16th-century Spanish saint, Carmelite nun and Catholic reformer who founded many new convents throughout Spain and became the Patroness of Spain. Recovered from: Unidentified 1700s wreck in the Caribbean
