The Thomason Medallic Bible is a distinctive mid-20th-century illustrated Bible created by American artist John Wesley Thomason, notable for its integration of small sculptural reliefs—“medallic” images—into the printed text. Produced in the 1960s, the work features hundreds of cast plaques embedded alongside scripture, each depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments in a style influenced by classical bas-relief and devotional art. Designed as both a spiritual and artistic object, the Thomason Medallic Bible stands apart from traditional illustrated Bibles through its tactile, dimensional approach, blending bookmaking, sculpture, and religious storytelling into a single collectible volume prized for its craftsmanship and rarity.
