[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 568791, member: 2844"]It is very nice but it looks like the madonna icon was added to it at a later date. The style of the other paintings and the dress of the nun and monk look Western or Southwestern European to me, maybe even Latin American. The nun looks Carmelite, and the monk could be Franciscan or Carmelite, maybe St John of the Cross? Could we see the entire painting of the monk, including the part top left? Also a photo of the chain with the links in a straight line so we can see their shape properly? And are there any silver marks?[/QUOTE]
