This is a beautiful Italian 19th-century antique embossed and chiseled metal ex-voto from Italy. It is a stunning piece of religious art. This ex-voto measures 6.25" long by 4.75" wide. It has the gold initials under a crown in the center. It depicts a sacred heart and the monogram of Mary. This is a handmade piece of that era, which would have been an offering to a saint for a vow made "giving thanks" for "miracles received". These types of pieces are must-haves for collectors of decorative Christian works of art. The intricate details and fine craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to any home or collection.
This is NOT a reproduction. This is an antique with wear commensurate with age.
