Antique Tools of Passion Jesus on Cross in Gorgeous Shadowbox Frame Exc Cond

Description

I PURCHASED THIS AT AN OLD ESTATE AUCTION AND IT IS IN AMAZING CONDITION AND ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
THE SHADOWBOX FRAME MEASURES 17" X 21" AND THE BACKGROUND IS A PAPER SCENE OF THE INSIDE OF A TEMPLE WITH A MAN ON EACH CORNER.  I LOVE THE REVERSE PAINTING AROUND THE SCENE ON THE GLASS.
THERE IS A PLAQUE ON THE BOTTOM THAT READS" THY KINGDOM COME 100 DAYS INDULGENCE EACH TIME (PIUS 1X 14TH JUNE 1877). NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DATE THIS WAS MADE BUT LOOKING AT THE FRAME IT VERY WELL COULD BE.
THE BACK IS WRAPPED IN BROWN PAPER WITH GRANDMA FEDOR'S NAME WRITTEN ON IT.
I FOUND A LISTING OF THE TOOLS OF THE PASSION
:
The Instruments
[

Depictions of the Instruments of the Passion may include many combinations of those following (though the cross of Jesus is almost always represented). A primary group of the most frequently used instruments can be distinguished:
The
Cross
on which Jesus was crucified (
True Cross
), either depicted alone or with the crosses of the two thieves
The
Crown of Thorns
The pillar or
column
where Jesus was whipped in the
Flagellation of Christ
The whip(s), in Germany often birches, used for the 39 lashes
The
Holy Sponge
set on a reed, with which
gall
and
vinegar
were offered to Jesus
The
Holy Lance
with which a Roman soldier inflicted the final of the
Five Wounds
in his side
The
Nails
, inflicting four wounds on the hands and feet
The
Veil of Veronica
Other common ones are:
The
reed
which was placed in Jesus' hand as a
sceptre

The purple
robe

The
Titulus Crucis
, attached to the Cross. It may be inscribed in Latin (INRI,
Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum
), Greek, Hebrew, or some other language.
The
Holy Grail
, the
chalice
used by Jesus at
The Last Supper
, and which some traditions say
Joseph of Arimathea
used to catch his blood at the crucifixion
The
Seamless robe of Jesus
The
dice
with which the soldiers
cast lots
for Christ's seamless robe
The
rooster
(cock) that crowed after
Peter's
third denial of Jesus
The vessel used to hold the
gall
and
vinegar
The
ladder
used for the
Deposition
, i.e. the removal of Christ's body from the cross for burial
The

The

Joseph of Arimathea
or by the
Myrrhbearers
The

moon
, representing the
eclipse
which occurred during the Passion
Thirty pieces of silver

Judas
' betrayal
A spitting face, indicating the
mockery of Jesus
The
hand
which slapped Jesus' face
The
chains
or cords which bound Jesus overnight in prison
The
lantern
or
torches
used by the arresting soldiers at the time of the
betrayal
, as well as their
swords
and
staves
The
sword
used by Peter to cut off the ear of the
High Priest's
servant. Sometimes a human
ear
is also represented.
Sometimes the heads or hands of figures from the Passion are shown, including Judas,
Caiaphas
, or the man who
mocked Christ
spitting in Christ's face. The washing hands of
Pontius Pilate
may be shown. The
Lorenzo Monaco
