Here is a representation of Christ that speaks directly to the hearts of all believers: this silver-plated babbitt statuette, representing the Passion of Christ: the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Made in France in the early 20th century during the Art Deco period (1910-1930), Jesus Christ is depicted standing, arms outstretched and erect, his heart, his "passion," emanating from his chest, radiating love, in a posture emblematic of Catholic devotion.

Its realism and highly realistic expression are distinctive of religious objects from the Art Deco period, where quality of craftsmanship and execution were the priority. The Art Deco style is defined as a style displaying a more organic, natural, and realistic vision of the subject.
Here, one has the impression of seeing the real Jesus, alive, in a miniature version.

This is a moving piece, perfect for a private oratory, a family altar, or for a sacred art collection. It can be a wonderful gift for your loved ones.

If you love religious devotional objects for your spiritual closets, or are a believer, don't wait any longer! Adopt this rare Jesus with the Sacred Heart in babbitt metal from the Art Deco period!
