Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Remarkable late 18th-century work by a congregation, in a papierolles mount framing a beautiful paste plaque of molded and then painted relics, in the effigy of the Child.
He is depicted here as Salvator Mundi, i.e. crowned, carrying a scepter and cruciferous orb symbolizing Christ's temporal and spiritual dominion.
The relic paste is a rare mixture of plaster, glue and relic dust.
A label in the upper left-hand corner DPSM, an acronym standing for "De Plusieurs Saints Martyrs", attests to their presence.
Finally, Saint Germier, 6th-century bishop of Toulouse, is also represented by a clearly visible ex-ossibus relic.
Dimensions: 42 cm x 35 cm for this large format in excellent condition.

Please allow for delivery, as this piece cannot be sent by post due to the traditional fragility of rolled paper mounts.
