Huge Oak Wall Sculpture 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 sculpture. 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. Maximum height x width x depth: 45.5 x 33 x 5 inches.

Museum Quality Bronze of Christ Wall Plaque Sculpture "Jesus Carrying the Cross"
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunningly powerful and meaningful work of religious art. With works of religious art being one of our specialties, over the decades we have sold quite a few special antiques in this field. With this bronze antique the artist clearly shows us a fragment out of one of the most famous scenes that took place in the history of mankind. Christ has already been beaten, mocked, given a wreath of thorns and having to carry the enormous cross. As you can see the quality of the details and the workmanship is excellent, but the scene and its meaning ofcourse is even more impressive. Please notice how particularly the facial features reveil the peaceful state of being that lies underneath the exterior of this Christ sculpture...

Antique Wall Display Cabinet with a Rare Mary & Child Jesus Sculpture Fragment
Located in Lisse, NL
One of a kind, handcrafted display cabinet with a rare religious artefact. This excellent wall display cabinet still opens and closes perfectly and it comes with the original antique glass in the door. Finding antiques with the original glass with that beautiful ripple in it, always makes those pieces extra desirable (in our view). The striking acorn and leaf motifs in the handcrafted, molded borders of the door too are very stylish features to enjoy. Over the decades the gilding has slightly warn off, which has created a marvelous patina. Given the style, age and perfect fit, we think that this antique wall cabinet was specifically made for the rare religious fragment that it is holding. If you like this unique display cabinet then you will love the rare fragment it is holding. From the missing pieces on the sides you can see that this Virgin Mary and child Jesus plaque...

Museum Quality Hand Crafted Bronze Corpus of Jesus Christ fr Wall Mounting 19thC
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning, one of a kind bronze corpus of Christ. The meaning of this antique sculpture obviously needs no explanation. However, not everybody looks at the corpus of Christ with the same ideas and emotions. And each individual may also have different emotions and ideas depending on his or her state of mind at a certain moment in the day or at a certain time in his or her life. Besides that, every artist/sculptor may also have his or her own ideas of what he or she is trying to express and communicate. What is important to us, is that a work of religious art speaks to us. If it speaks to us then almost always there will also be someone else who sees the beauty, deeper meaning, quality, style and uniqueness. This particular corpus stands out for its exceptional physical details and its painful facial features. We also rarely seen an antique Christ sculpture...
