Vintage devotional portrait of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and The Little Flower.

The image depicts St. Thérèse in her Carmelite habit holding her traditional attributes of a crucifix and roses. She is shown with a subtle halo behind her head.

The portrait is housed in an unusual round black molded frame with raised decorative religious imagery around the border. The frame appears to be plastic, resin, Bakelite-type material, or a similar molded composition; exact material has not been determined.

There is no glass covering the image.

Approximate size:

• About 8 inches in diameter overall

• Round format

• Metal hanging loop on pre-owned condition with age-related wear. The portrait shows some surface wear, including small marks/spots and edge wear visible in the photographs. The black frame has scratches, scuffs and general wear consistent with age. No glass is present. Please examine all photographs closely as they are an important part of the condition description.

  A lovely older Catholic devotional piece with an especially interesting molded black frame, suitable for a religious collection, home altar, shrine or vintage ecclesiastical display.
