Ego Sum Lux Mundi | Antique Religious Plaque in Wooden FrameTurn of the century antique religious plaque made of silver toned cast metal set into a black wooden frame. It depicts Christ holding an open book with the motto Ego sum lux mundi, I am the light of the world. Refer to photos for size and condition: Overall very good with minimal signs of age.

I especially love the one that includes a photo of the deceased

it seemed like something one of my followers would love

depicting a young girl lost in the wilderness

Presented in an antique gilded wood frame

Because they are glass on all sides

Other than that

but I’m pretty sure it’s a silver alloy (not sterling)

I thought it was done on embossed paper

and a crack between the frontispiece and the rest of the textblock

I suspect it was easier & cheaper from a manufacturing standpoint to do 6 rather than 8

there is no chipping to the lacquer or pearl loss
