Rare devotional plaque "Ex voto" in maiolica, completely hand-painted, dating from the early 20th century.

It represents a classic example of folk and devotional art, where the famous acronym PGR (Per Grazia Ricevuta) stands out, which designates the object as a gift offered to a deity or a saint in thanksgiving for a miracle or for overcoming danger, in this case a young girl saved by a Madonna while falling from a tree.

The photos are part of the description.
