Each alabaster plaque showcases beautiful depth: flowing sculpted lines, finely modeled facial features, and textured backgrounds that highlight the natural luminosity of real alabaster.
Mounted within solid wood frames, the artworks have a strong and refined visual presence. The reverse of each piece includes a sturdy integrated metal hanging bar, allowing the plaques to mount securely and evenly on the wall—ideal for heavier stone artworks.
Each panel weighs approximately 15 lbs, reflecting the density and quality of the alabaster and making the set feel substantial and architectural on display.
Crafted during the 1950s–1970s, these pieces represent the classic Italian tradition of sacred alabaster carving. Sets of this size and craftsmanship are increasingly scarce.
A refined and meaningful mid-century devotional set with impressive weight, sculptural presence, and display-ready hardware.
