A pair of oval-shaped medallions, crafted from likely gold-plated or gilt metal, identified through web intelligence as Masonic Provincial Assistant Grand Pursuivant Collar Jewels. Each features a central vibrant blue enamel panel with a radial guilloche pattern, surrounded by a textured gold-toned outer rim and equipped with a suspension ring. The medallion on the left displays a raised gold-toned bird, possibly a dove, holding a leafy branch in its beak. The medallion on the right features a raised, detailed gold-toned heraldic shield with quartered divisions, superimposed over crossed implements, and a banner below bearing the English word “ASSISTANT”. Both medallions bear the French text “ENFANT RÉGIE” (translating to “Child Management” or “Controlled Child”) inscribed in relief around their outer rims. The backs are plain, matte gold-toned. Their formal design suggests an organizational, commemorative, or award-related purpose, likely from the mid-20th century or later.
