This is a beautiful silver, early 1800s antique embossed and chiseled metal ex-voto from Italy. It is a stunning piece of religious art. This ex-voto measures 3.5" long by 2.25" wide. This is a handmade piece from that era, which would have been an offering to a saint in fulfillment of 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. It is an amazing piece of faded grandeur.
This is NOT a reproduction. This is an antique with wear commensurate with age.
