Very unusual French antique wall shrine dedicated to Our Lady.
Dated at the bottom MCMXXXVI (1936).
Orange and black plaque (it seems to be hard plastic) with a smaller metal plaque attached to it.
A figurine of Mary is placed in a little metal alcove. She is attached by a screw and bolt at the back. A round hole was made at the back of the figurine. She moves a lot as she is not fixed at the base and can be pulled (the screw and bolt system is not the best).
The figurine is made of gold painted metal.
A large hole at the top so it could be hung on the wall. Extra holes at bottom and sides so it could be fixed very securely.
Traces, marks, stains and small chips on the plastic plaque commensurate with age and use. 
The metal has marks, scratches, stains and discolouration.
This is a very odd piece of work that seems to be home made hence the imperfections.
39.5 x 14.1 cm / 15.35 x 5.5 inches.
Weight: 890 grams.
The pictures are part of the description.
 
Thanks for visiting Cabinet de Merveilles!
