Antique or Vintage Religious Reverse Painting Glass Light Up Mary Saint Catholic

Description

Up for auction is a vintage or antique Christian or Catholic wall hanging. I'm at a loss as to how exactly to describe this. Firstly I am not sure if this is Mary or one of the saints. It is reverse painted on slightly doomed out glass. It was once wired to light up but I am not entirely sure if that is original or not. I think it was probably originally light up but possibly rewired. Regardless if it was or wasn't, if you want it to light up again you will need to rewire it. I was going to do so but when I opened it up I thought the better of it. As you can see the bulb socket was taped to the back of the glass. Since I wasn't sure what would happen if I pulled the tape off, I just cut the tape and removed the socket and wire. The wire is old and cracked and definitely not usable. If you do rewire it I thought an LED would probably be better. There is an area on her ear where the paint is damaged. From what I can tell that was the result of the heat from the bulb which is also why I think LED would be better. There were some minor chips in the gold leaf on the edges which I touched up. Please see photos.  The frame measures 15" x 13". The original wire and socket will be included incase you want to reuse the socket. If you have an questions I will do m best to answer.
Good Luck and Happy Bidding...
