Offered here is a RARE Antique Pocket Travel Shrine .
The quality is stunning , there are 14 different crucifixion scenes made on what appears to be a white metal , I am unsure of the material . This comes in a bifold brown Leather case .
There is a gilt gold border and a gilded decoration in the top corners in the tooled leather.
It has fabulous Icon scenes and dates to c1900 with a press stud closure .
This has a lovely Antique Patina and it has had very little use , so only has very light wear.
Christ is made from cast metal and appears to be on a leather cross .
The workmanship in the entire piece is superb , I am unsure what the exact materials are ( other than the case is certainly leather ).
When open the entire piece measures 7 inches x 5 inches , and it folds down into 3.25 x 5 inches so fits nicely into your pocket ( it is slightly smaller than most mobile phones ).
A fabulous piece for a follower of Christianity or Christian religions .
This was probably made in France around 1900 .
Good Luck .
