An Italian style hand-painted and hand-lacquered image of the Virgin and Child adorns this wooden gilded Easter egg. Made in the Western iconographic tradition, it features a gold Latin cross on verso.
May be used devotionally as part of a home shrine, or decoratively on an Easter table or in an Easter basket. Offered with a beautiful carved brass stand, marked as made in Italy.
Traditionally Easter eggs are also displayed at Christmas as a reminder of the Mystery of Redemption.
This is a salvaged antique product. Very good condition, consistent with age. Measures approximately 5 inches tall by 3.5 wide. Clean with a soft dusting cloth and wood orange oil.
