This photograph shows a gold medallion bearing the image of the miraculous Virgin of Caacupé, the patroness of Paraguay. Her devotion centers on the town of Caacupé, in the hills east of Asunción, where a shrine draws large pilgrimages, especially around her feast day on December 8. Devotional medals like this one were worn by the faithful as personal expressions of piety and as tokens of pilgrimage. The record gives no date for the photograph, so its exact age is uncertain, but its caption tracings point to geography, religion, and jewelry as the subjects it documents.
