AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

17th-century set of two tin relief plaques — St. Michael Psychostasis & The Madonna

Origin: Likely Southern Netherlands (Flanders), 17th century.
Provenance: Private Belgian collection

A devotional set of two early tin reliefs, both retaining excellent character and age.

The first relief depicts St. Michael the Archangel weighing souls: a powerful scene of psychostasis, where Michael holds a sword and scales while subduing a demon beneath his feet — symbolizing the victory of divine justice.

The second depicts the Virgin Mary in prayer, enclosed within a radiant mandorla and framed by three cherubic heads. A suspension loop at the top indicates its historical use in personal devotion or a small chapel setting.

Dimensions: approx. 10 × 7 cm each

Cast tin

Condition: Good for age — expected wear, patina, and small losses consistent with 17th-century devotional use.
A beautiful and authentic pair of Flemish religious reliefs — expressive, compact, and full of spiritual symbolism.

Please note that we currently do not ship orders to the United States.
