Signed Emaus Madonna Guadalupe Art Plaque Bought $1 ~Sold $39

Signed Emaus Guadalupe Mid Century Madonna Child Plaque Handmade By Monks. Mid century modern or earlier handmade wall plaque signed "Emaus" and made by the monks of the Benedictine Monastery in Mexico. This is simply gorgeous and very modern geometric hand tooled metal that looks like sterling silver, brass or gold plate. I found this piece at a catholic church being sold at a flea market. They did not know what they had! Another great find!! A little history: The Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Resurrection in Ahuacatitlán Morelos, the community of monks who once worked in the garden of the monastery, leaving the poultry and the cultivation of legumes to occupy your hands in the company we know today as WORKSHOPS Monastir (Emmaus). Fray Gabriel Chavez de la Mora OSB artisan workshop founded the monastic community who would work 12 monks and 20 trainees from outside the monastery.
