    -reminded me of a piece I've got somewhere in the garage.It's a three dimensional shadow box w/ a central crucifixion statuette surrounded by the torture tools of Christ's Passion.I need to find an antique frame to fit to it.It's a basic generic piece that would've hung in personal chapels and churches.Mine looks early 20th century,but they may still make them.
    PS- This one isn't mine (but it's too cold & i'm too lazy to rummage thru the garage). Sorry if i already shared this.

    Thy Kingdom Come, indeed!
    I am not a Christian (agnostic, spiritual but secular) but am somewhat familiar with the iconography of their faith. I have never seen anything like that, an' "the torture tools of Christ's Passion" are wholly unfamiliar to me. Macabre is a word that comes first to mind...I urge you to either heat your garage, or gird yer carcass with wool an' feathers, polar fleece an' layers, then sally forward to dig your example out-from-under, an' offer it to this heathen, an others of our community...Forthwith! Please?
