It was the most sought after devotional objects and pilgrims bought it off stalls even in 1944. They were usually attached to strings of amber or coral.Typically, one side of the medallion showed the Madonna of Częstochowa and the Holy Family, the Crucifixion or a saint on the other. “Marys” were made as early as in the 17th century and still after the Second World War.
