I designed and carved the original pendant and then cast them in lead-free pewter. The pendant comes on a metal chain with a lobster clasp. Each comes in a jewelry pouch with a history card stating:
"Luke’s Gospel (10:38-42) shows Martha and Mary as distinctly different: Jesus comes through Bethany, enters the house where the two live, and begins to talk. Mary sits at Jesus’ feet and listens; Martha goes to prepare food and is 'distracted with much serving.' The story thus shows the two women responding differently, but other biblical stories depict the two acting in consort. Thus they do what sisters/friends with differing personalities often do: complement one another, a unity from diversity. This medal, handmade at In the Co. of Saints, depicts two sisters/friends in harmony, Martha, to the left, has the roots of the tree beneath her; Mary, to the right, has the leaf in the air above her."
Dimensions of pendant: 1 1/4 in. high x 7/8 in. wide x 1/8 in. deep
