For sale is a beautiful ANTIQUE CAST IRON plaque with Catholic/Christian religious theme. It depicts St. John with the poison cup and an eagle overhead. It is related to the story of St. John performing a miracle that turned the poison presented to him in a cup into a snake. St John is also classically represented by the eagle as he represent the witness of light and divinity.The plaque measures 15"x 12" and has been well taken care of over the years. There is very minimal surface rus...ts that are almost invisible. The high relief work of St John is smooth and elegant, almost life-like. The mystical symbolized snake and eagle add another shine of sacred divinity to the piece. The composition is heavily influenced by classical greek style and would display nicely on your mantle or shelf (it does not have a hook or mounting hole so it cannot be hang on the wall unless you drill a hole through it). The border is also nicely arranged with eagle feather like pattern.
