This is a beautiful 19th-century antique embossed and chiseled metal ex-voto from Italy. It is a stunning piece of religious art, with an angel at the bottom. This ex-voto measures 5" long by 4" wide. It has the gold initials in the center. It depicts a sacred heart and the letters GR for "grace received". This is a handmade piece from 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.
