Large Oak Wall Plaque of Virgin Mary & Child Jesus Sitting on a Crescent Moon
About the Item
Unique wall plaque depicting Madonna and Child.
If you are looking for unique works of religious art from earlier times then this large church wall plaque could be the perfect addition to your home or church / parish. In this enormous and all hand carved wall plaque the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus are portrayed sitting on a crescent moon. This symbol ofcourse was not chosen by accident. The crescent moon, in particular, represents motherhood and fertility. It can also be symbolic of growth, creativity, and manifestation and crescent moons also being related to new phases in life, new chapters or a new beginning, the combination of Mary and Jesus and the crescent moon could not have been chosen any better. Some biblical references use the moon symbol to highlight cosmic events, divine epiphanies and the ephemeral nature of human life and history (see, for example, Isaiah 30,26; 60,19; Revelations 21,23). This too explains the deeper meaning behind this very large and impressive church wall plaque.
Over the past decade or two we have seen and sold many works of religious art, but we never before had the pleasure of offering such a unique, large and all hand carved piece out of oakwood. To have found a piece of this size, this great shape and in this beautiful condition more than made our day. It must have taken one highly skilled artist many days if not several weeks to design and execute this highly sculptural and meaningful piece. In this unique piece Mother Mary is depicted sitting on a crescent moon, also signifying her glory and victory over time and space. Thanks to the original and strong metal hook on the back, safely wall mounting this one of a kind antique can be done in a matter of minutes.
Again great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 workdays are complimentary. No matter where you may live on our beautiful planet.

- Antique Icon like Gilt Bronze Mary and Child Jesus Plaque over a Holy Water FontLocated in Lisse, NLMeaningful and perfectly hand-crafted antique church relic. This religious work of art dates from the earliest years of the 20th century and you could not wish for a better condition antique. This finest of holy water font plaques could not be in better condition, but that is also because it was all handcrafted out of the best materials only. Even the hand sawn, square nuts on the back are gilt. And the cross-like hook with the French Gothic fleur-de-lis ends with the ring on top (for easy mounting this gem to your wall) is another detail that shows us that no expense was spared when this antique was hand-crafted all those years ago. Whenever we find religious antiques of this quality and excellent condition, they usually were made for and used in either a church or a monastery (also, because that is where the budget was for the best quality pieces). The quality and the finish of this church relic really is among the best we have ever seen, but the quality of and the details in the sereen Mother Mary...Category
