Wouldn’t This Look Nice on Your Mantelpiece?

Or perhaps displayed in some other prominent location in your home.  This 24 centimeter (9.5 inch) figurine has been masterfully crafted out of the finest crystal by Atlantis – one of the premier glassmaking companies of Portugal.

The piece is entitled “Nossa Senhora” (“Our Lady”).  It is a stylistic representation of the Virgin Mary – most evident from the small cross incised near the base of the figure.  Even if your family is not religious, one would have to think that a piece of art like this would be a wonderful conversation starter at parties.

Jesus Toast

Posted by John Farrier in Art, Religion on January 19, 2010 at 12:04 pm

What with hazy images of Jesus or the Virgin Mary appearing on toast, potato chips, and other assorted food items, artist Adam Sheldon felt the inspiration to create a mosaic of the crucifixion out of 153 pieces of burnt toast. It’s on display at the Church of St. Peter in Great Limber, Lincolnshire, UK. More (and larger) images at the link.
