This is an antique silver-tone religious medal featuring San Isidro Labrador and Santa María de la Cabeza, two beloved Spanish saints associated with rural communities and agriculture. The medal is a pilgrimage souvenir (Recuerdo de la Romería) from Madrid, from the late 19th century.
On one side, the medal depicts the saints holding a staff together, with farming tools and livestock below, symbolizing their devotion to the land. Around the rim, it reads:
"S. ISIDRO" and "STA. MA. DE LA CABEZA"
The reverse shows a beautifully engraved image of a chapel, with the inscription:
"RECUERDO DE LA ROMERIA - MADRID"
and maker’s mark: "VICTORINO G."San Isidro is the patron saint of farmers, and Santa María de la Cabeza, his wife, is venerated for her piety. This medal likely commemorates the annual pilgrimage (romería) to their shrine in Madrid, an event of deep cultural and spiritual importance.
