Antique picture frame with two doors, a cross at the top and the AM monogram (Ave Maria) at the bottom.
Tramp or folk art from the first half of the 20th century.
Light openwork wood that has plenty of beautiful irregularities. 
Some small breaks and pieces missing. The initials have a small part missing at the top. The two decoration on the sides at the bottom seem to be incomplete.
The wood has faded and lost its shine in places because of a prolonged display and exposure to dust. 
Protective glass. Some dust is visible underneath.
The glass has some small imperfections.
A chromolithograph with the Infant Jesus was cut to fit in the frame.
The wood is split on one side but everything still holds well. Several gaps visible on the sides.
The back is screwed to the frame but the screws are quite small and their heads a bit worn.
One loop at the back so it can be hung immediately.
A beautiful and unusual object that would be great for a home altar.
