Item Description

A rare 17th century ecclesiastical double sided wall hanging, oil on canvas of Saint Leonard of Noblac, a Frankish saint closely associated with the town and abbey of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, in Haute-Vienne, in the Limousin region of France. He was converted to Christianity along with the king, at Christmas 496.

Hand painted religious imagery with ancient German text to the bottom. Painted monogrammed design to the back.
 

Wear and losses commensurate to the age. Fixed between oak poles each tipped with painted finials. The top pole has a fabulous red and white striped pattern to it.
