Gorgeous Infant of Prague Statue Large 1966 Columbia Statuary Italy 19"
This breathtaking chalkware statue is approx. 19" tall and certainly commandeers the presence of any room.The child's face is exceptional. The blue eyes are piercing. The lacy gown and cape are extraordinary and regally enhanced with metallic silver thread. There are three red ribbons pinned to the gowns bottom.
From a fine local estate. Made by Columbia Statuary, 1966 in Italy and lovingly care for by one owner.
In wonderful condition with the gown overall slightly yellowed by age, dusty in corners and crevices and there are some stains on the inside of gown and cape and loose threads here and there. The edges are raw where the hands poke out. The top of the crown comes out and is easily placed back in. The cross on the orb does spin around but is secure.
See all photos for most accurate condition.
You'd be hard pressed to find a nice version.
It is sure to be a family heirloom.

Vtg Shafford Blessed Virgin Mary Ceramic Planter
Made in Japan by Shafford this elegant depiction of the Virgin Mary as a planter is in very good vintage condition. It is without chips or cracks but it is finally crazed as is common in this type of mid century pottery. There is some dirt staining in the actual plant pot as you can see in the photos. The planter is 6 1/4 inches high by 4 1/4 inches wide.

SOLD! Antique Sterling Archangel Michael Religious Medal
SOLD! Although this medal has seen much wear, the design depicting Archangel Michael and the body of Satan in the form of a dragon, is stunningly Art Nouveau. I’ve never found another one like it. Heavier than your average medal, it measure 7/8 inch across. On the back- Quis Deus (translated What God).
In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with Saint George, became the patron saint of chivalry and is now also considered the patron saint of police officers, paramedics and the military.
Apart from his being a patron of warriors, the sick and the suffering also consider Archangel Michael their patron saint.
Based on the legend of his 8th-century apparition at Mont-Saint-Michel, France, the Archangel is the patron of mariners in this famous sanctuary.

Sterling Saint Roch Medal Patron Saint of Dogs, Invalids, Falsely Accused People and Bachelors St. Rocco
This highly detailed sterling silver (it was acid tested) religious medal, depicts Saint Roch 1295-1327, his dog and staff.
Quite a story he has - (from Wiki)
Roch (lived c. 1348 – 15/16 August 1376/79 (traditionally c. 1295 – 16 August 132]), also called Rock in English, is a Catholic saint, a confessor whose death is commemorated on 16 August and 9 September in Italy; he is especially invoked against the plague. He has the designation of Rollox in Glasgow, Scotland, said to be a corruption of Roch's Loch, which referred to a small loch once near a chapel dedicated to Roch in 1506.
Coming into Italy during an epidemic of plague, he was very diligent in tending the sick in the public hospitals at Acquapendente, Cesena, Rimini, Novara,and Rome, and is said to have effected many miraculous cures by prayer and the sign of the cross and the touch of his hand. At Rome, according to the Golden Legend, he preserved the "cardinal of Angleria in Lombardy" by making the mark of the cross on his forehead, which miraculously remained. Ministering at Piacenza he himself finally fell ill. He was expelled from the town; and withdrew into the forest, where he made himself a hut of boughs and leaves, which was miraculously supplied with water by a spring that arose in the place; he would have perished had not a dog belonging to a nobleman named Gothard Palastrelli supplied him with bread and licked his wounds, healing them. Count Gothard, following his hunting dog that carried the bread, discovered Roch and became his acolyte.
He is a patron saint of dogs, invalids, of falsely accused people, bachelors, and several other things. He is the patron saint of Dolo (near Venice) and Parma, as well as Casamassima, Cisterna di Latina and Palagiano (Italy)
