Christianity Monastery Work Wax Jesus Child in Glass Display Case Antique German
About the Item
Here I have to offer a fine antique classic early 20th century Glass Display Case with a beautiful Monastery Work inside. A wonderful decorative item, in very nice as is condition.
This is a truly fine antique old piece. Great Item in your home. As you can see it is a really old-age piece and the patina at the pillow gives the piece in total a great antique look. The ground is made of gilt wood, the sarcophagus is made of glass.
In Germany the little wax doll is called "Fatschenkind".
A Fatschenkind, also known as Fatschenkindl is a representation in wax of the Baby Jesus or Jesus Child. The term comes from the latin word for diaper. This is a miniature of a devotional image, an infant wound with ribbons and other tiny delicate objects. These figures are mainly distributed in Southern Germany and Austria as examples of wax work called “ceroplastics”.
The Fatschenkind is tucked into silk cloth, or lace with ruffles and can placed in a small framed wooden box with a glass pane or dome to avoid the dust. The Infant Jesus is cradled with colored paper, or embroidered silk, stones and pearls. No two are the same! Unique!
These boxes were made in monasteries, but also by private individuals, usually women.

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...
