Description from the seller
Beautiful 19th-century Bible pocket, gold at the edges, in a leather cover with a silver clasp featuring a sword, heart, cross.
The motif of a sword, heart and cross is primarily a Christian symbol that represents the suffering of Jesus on the cross and the "seven sorrows" of Mary, with the sword piercing her heart symbolizing her sorrow. It is also associated with love, faith and strength, sometimes as a religious jewel.

Published by the Nederlandsche Bijbel-Compagnie in Amsterdam J. Brandt and Son and in Haarlem Johannes Enschedé and Zonen 1884.
Contents: The New Testament, or All Books of the New Covenant of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Book of Psalms, Supplemental volume to the Evangelical Hymns and Catechism or Instructions.
Dimensions: 11.8 x 7.5 x 3.7 cm. Weight: 195 grams.
