Description

Art Deco Celluloid Tabletop Religious Souvenir of First CommunionMade in America some time in the 1930s 1940s or so, may I offer this celluloid religious image (more than likely Souvenir of First Communion) depicting Jesus Christ revealing his Sacred Heart to a young child. The image is done in hushed pastel tones not an overly Catholic image but something very subtle, perfect for a nursery or child's bedroom. Size is 3 1 8" high x 2 1 8" wide. Perfect condition with the original easel back still present.
