A extreme large, almost 11" 19th century antique French Religious Sacred Heart Ex Voto. It is very special to find this piece so complete. Very occasionally you can find such a unique heart.

The central ruby ​​red heart of glass is etched with I.H.S. monogram with crown of thorns. The I.H.S. monogram is a Christian abbreviation for the name of Jesus, often interpreted as "Iesus Hominum Salvator" (Jesus, Savior of Mankind). The crown of thorns symbolizes the suffering of Christ.
This central part is mounted in a brass setting with 38 clear Rhinestones around, this also in the shape of a heart.
This was repeated in 39 Ruby ​​red stones at a lower position to give more contrast to the item. On top of the item the flames with 47 ruby red Rhine stones. Two very small stones are missing.
And we heave the sunbeams around the central piece with 143 clear Rhinestones.

If we look at the back we see a brass plate to open the ex voto. Within a memorial piece can be placed. The brass plate is numbered by engraving 22 & 25. More on top is the original brass ring.
Probely the Sacred Heart was hung up with a coloured ribbon
