Description from the seller

Beautiful varied lot of four original Catholic devotional items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Memento Mori & Lourdes, originating from French and Belgian folk devotion. In good authentic, aged condition.

Large wooden Memento Mori wall crucifix (ca. 1870-1900) Wooden cross, black patinated. Equipped with a detailed gold-colored cast corpus of Jesus with below it a rare cast metal "Memento Mori" skull with crossed bones (Golgotha symbolism).
Good antique condition with lovely aged patina on the metal.

Inlaid ebony Rosary cross with skull (ca. 1850-1900).
High-quality metal rosary cross inlaid with strips of solid ebony. This type of cross formed the terminal piece of a heavy monastery rosary.

Antique French Lourdes pilgrim cross (ca. 1880-1920)
Wooden cross sourced from a large Lourdes wall rosary.
Front: "Seguitre" and "Domino Christo"
Back: "Mere de Jesus, N.D. de Lourdes" and "Je vous consacre"
Together they form the traditional dedication prayer for the family.

Antique white metal (such as zinc alloy or tin) with a silvered or nickel-coated layer,
holy water font with crucifix and glass dish (ca. 1920), also called benitier.
Good, authentic vintage condition. The original dish is intact and undamaged.
The metal has a beautiful well-worn patina with light wear to the silvering appropriate to its age.
