This is a beautiful silver 19th-century Italian embossed and chiseled metal ex-voto. It is a stunning piece of religious art. This ex-voto measures 5" long by 3.25" wide. It has a gold medal. 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. The large angel on the bottom is stunning.
This is NOT a reproduction. This is an antique with wear commensurate with age.
