A delicate meerschaum (a white claylike material) relic depicting the Virgin Mary holding a crown of thorns with a cross tucked within her arm.  Hand carved with incredible detail and high relief, the carving almost looks soft to the touch.  Framed in a black ebonized wood oval frame with its original convex glass and back with felt.
