Beautiful Shapely Antique Plaster Plaque of Mary & Baby Jesus / Artist: L. Connelly / The Sisters of St. Francis Pittsburgh, PA This is a stunning and beautiful antique religious plaque. It’s made of plaster and has a lovely shape. This plaque is heavy and substantial. It features Mary bowing her head in prayer with her hands clasped. Sweet Baby Jesus is laying down in front of Mary. He appears to be fast asleep, with his hands to his chest, holding a single flower to his heart. It’s a precious scene. There’s a lot of depth and texture to this plaque. The top portion of this plaque is in the shape of an arbor and is decorated with stars around the border. The bottom portion of this plaque has a shapely scroll design ending in a shell. This antique plaque is in beautiful, excellent original condition with no wear to the old, original gold-painted finish. The plaster has just a couple very tiny flakes to the back of the plaque. There are no cracks, stains, or repairs to this piece. The bottom edge of the plaque has the artist’s name and city etched into it. The words are a little faint, but I believe it reads, "L. Connelly" and the city reads, "Chicago.". Also, there’s an interesting bit of history that goes along with this plaque. The back is signed by the gift giver with a message. It reads, "Presented by The Sisters of St. Francis; Pittsburgh, Pa.; July 10, 1935; In return for a little favor done for them a few weeks before". How intriguing! I wonder what the favor was? This convent is now called ‘Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God’. The plaque has a nice, original, strong wire hanger. Circa 1920’s.
