Product description
This concerns an altar cannon (Altar Cards (Tabellae Lavabo)) with a triptych in the center (non-folding) and 2 separate panels. It is remarkable that they have all remained together, making it complete. Altar Cards (Tabellae Lavabo)
They are richly openwork, crowned with a cross (Crucifix) in the center. The back is finished with a velvet-covered panel. The frame is made of brass and subsequently fire-gilded. The prints with (Latin) text and drawings still look very beautiful. Bright in color, no stains. The whole is in beautiful, undamaged condition with normal light signs of use commensurate with age. This consists of a few age spots on the frame. The glass is still completely intact. Please see the photos for details. These panels must be placed in a holder or against a wall. This is original; no parts are missing.
This is a beautiful piece that has been preserved very well.
For the enthusiast!
"In the time that the When the (Tridentine) Mass in Latin was celebrated with the priest, three panels with Latin text were placed on the altar. The panel on the left contained the text of the prologue of the Gospel of John, which the priest recited at the end of the Mass. In the center is a panel in three columns with the Gloria, the Creed, and the prayers of consecration. On the right, the third panel contains the prayers for the blessing of the water and the Lavabo. These panels were often richly decorated, sometimes even by hand. The use of the central panel is still occasionally applied during the "Mass of Paul VI" (or "Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite") which is celebrated in Latin.
These altar panels are placed on the altar during the Latin Mass to help the priest memorize fixed prayers.
