Hand Embroidered Copper & Silk Thread, Bread of Life / Christ Church Relic

About the Item

For the collectors of stunning and unique, handcrafted religious art. If you truly understand how much time and what skilled effort went into creating this piece and if you recognize the incredible details in this hand-embroidered 'cloth' then you will also recognize its value. Together with many other unique and top quality works of religious art this piece too was part of a collection of immense rarity and beauty. This piece is one of many unique items that were collected over a period of decades. Mind you, each hair and each line of shade that you see on the face of Jesus and his disciple is hand-embroidered. It is most likely that this extremely time consuming and rare quality piece was made by a highly skilled nun, in early 20th century Europe. We think either in Holland, Belgium or France. The cloth on the back was obviously put there to prevent the original back from fraying, thus protecting this church relic. Whomever created this piece, to us, is like the Da Vinci or Rembrandt of embroidery. This incredibly hard to make, superb quality, sizable, unique and meaningful work of religious art truly is great value for money and our price includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum width x height x depth 22.8 x 20.9 x 0.3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for spiritual and meaningful and for the best craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
