Carved Wood Plaque
The item for today’s show and tell is a wood plaque of the nativity. It is made of natural wood which remains unvarnished or stained. The size is 11 ¾" T x 23 ½" W. It hangs on the wall from a notch on the back.
It shows the family, Mary, Baby Jesus and Joseph in the stable surrounded with stored goods.
The simple treatment of the wood gives a sense of serenity and grace. It is very effective treatment of the subject.

Hi Carrie -
ReplyDeleteThis plaque is wonderful - is there a special story behind this? Did someone make it for you, or did you hire someone to make it?
Its beautiful in its simplicity - after all the manger was made of wood!
Thanks for sharing!

Barb,
ReplyDeleteI won the plaque on eBay in fall 2003. Its size of 11 ¾" T x 23 ½" W makes a very substantial piece. My winning bid was just $14.99. I was unable to get any other information back then except that the carving was made in the U.S.A. It is signed "PS VIII 2000."

Love, Love, LOVE the wood carving! Beautiful piece!
