[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9724835, member: 2844"]I doubt it. In spite of the spelling it looks more like a Roman Catholic Ex Voto to me, a votive offering. In this case because of an illness, and presumably the patient was cured. St Anthony of Padua is seen in a vision, hovering over the patients bed. And baby Jesus seems to have given the patient his sacred heart. If that doesn't cure you, nothing will.:playful: A very Roman Catholic scene. Imo the date 1798 is when this miracle occured, not when the plaque was made. Looking at the dress of the woman who is praying on the lower left, I think the origin is Alpine, probably South Tyrole. I tweaked that area a bit: [ATTACH=full]472253[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
