    Measures about 6 inches tall. Silver on wood with a Mother of Pearl center. Hand carved tourist piece or just some dude who wanted a religious icon in his house? 1catholic6.jpg 2catholic1.jpg 3catholic4.jpg 3catholic5.jpg

    A lot of (religious) MOP carving was done in by Palestinians in Bethlehem. I have never seen it mounted like this though, very impressive.

    I thought it a retablo at first glance.

    Maybe it was used as a travel retablo.

    Makes sense. You could take it with you and hang it on a nail in the wall.
