Vtg 1970s Modernist Brutalist JESUS FACE Pendant Open Work Pewter Cut Out Medal

A Vintage 1970s Modernist "Face of Christ" Pewter Pendant ~ A Wearable Work of Art

This is a rare and striking piece of vintage religious jewelry, a world away from the common medal. This pendant is a powerful example of Modernist and Brutalist design from the 1960s-1970s, capturing the Holy Face of Jesus in a bold, abstract, and deeply expressive form.

An Icon Reimagined

This is a true piece of wearable art. The artist used an "open-work" or "cut-out" technique, using negative space to create a powerful silhouette of Christ's face and halo. The design is minimalist yet instantly recognizable, reflecting the artistic spirit of the era.

The Beauty of Brutalist Texture

The pendant is crafted from cast pewter, a favorite material of Modernist artisans. It features a wonderful, rough, pebbled texture that gives it a raw, honest, and tactile feel. This is not a flaw but a deliberate design choice that makes the piece unique and visually compelling.
