The Seven Archangels (M 034; Engraving) Keychain
In this engraving of heaven by Hieronymus [Jerome] Wierx from c. 1600, the focus is on the Archangels. + The Seven Archangels, their names inscribed in their haloes, are depicted with their attributes. Reading from left to right, the Archangels are as follows: St. Raphael (“God Heals”) bears an apothecary’s jar and holds the hand of the youth Tobias who carries a fish. With a salve made from fish guts, St. Raphael healed Tobias’s father of blindness and his future wife from possession by a demon. Uriel (or Ariel; “God Is My Light”) wields a sword. He may have expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after The Fall. A flame burns at his feet. St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) is usually portrayed with a spray of lilies. Here, however, he carries a lantern that bounces light off a mirror of jasper. The lantern symbolizes the Word of God; and, the mirror of jasper--a mineral with occlusions that nevertheless takes on a reflective sheen when polished—symbolizes our flawed understanding of God’s nature. In the center, a tall, armor-clad St. Michael (“Who Is Like God?”) carries a battle standard and palm of victory. He crushes Lucifer in the guise of a dragon underfoot. Sealtiel (“Prayer for God”), here with eyes raised, folds his hands in prayer in front of his chest. Jehudiel (“God’s Justice”) carries a crown and a scourge (the heavenly equivalent of a carrot and a stick). And, finally, Barachiel (“God’s Blessings”) holds out a fold of his mantle filled with flowers for strewing or dispensing. + The engraving was inspired by two Biblical passages--Apoc. 1:4 and Psalm 137:1-2--that appear in Latin beneath the image on the original print (not visible in this detail). + Joint Feast of SS. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael: September 29 + Image Credit (M 034): Detail of an antique Flemish Northern Renaissance engraving of St. Michael and Archangels (The Seven Archangels), by Hieronymus [Jerome] Wierx, originally published with privilege by Piermans, Antwerp, Belgium, c. 1600, from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Elisha Whittelsey Collection, The Elisha Whittelsey Fund, 1951, 51.501.6402.

First and foremost, I really liked how this came in a cute Zazzle pouch. The keychain is absolutely high quality! Feels sturdy! You can be assured that your printed image will be protected. Image quality and colors are perfect. And to think that the resolution of my image wasn't exactly the highest.
