Vtg Silk Embroidered/Brocade Catholic Alter Banner Vulning Pelican in Her Piety.
Amazing, rare antique French altar frontal banner featuring the rare pelican feeding its young. The mother pelican symbolizes that in a time of famine a mother pelican would draw blood from her own chest and give the blood to her chicks. Thus the pelican symbol in Christianity, also called pelican-in-her-piety, symbolizes the sacrifice of Christ on the cross as well as the Eucharist.

Markings: I find no maker's marks.
Country of Origin: Likely made in France.
Materials: Silk.
Measurements: Roughly 22" x 38" tall.
