Magnificent votive plaque, a religious/devotional object, hand-carved and openwork mother-of-pearl from Bethlehem, depicting the Last Supper, relatively recent (1960s-1990s). It has a rounded shape and a finely openwork decoration on two levels: the background, the table in low relief, and the apostles rendered in engraving and bas-relief. Between the two levels, a large, heavy piece of mother-of-pearl on the background ensures good stability. The back features a hinged, folding stand, a well-designed piece suitable for display in a study or devotional cabinet. A decorative piece, typical of religious souvenirs from the Holy Land, but larger and more detailed than common production, it looks beautiful when illuminated.
16.5 cm wide, 14.3 cm high, 3 cm thick (excluding the stand). Very good overall condition, no chips or missing pieces, functional stand, well-preserved surface. Approximately 500g.
