This Mixed Media Miniature Shrine features Fra Angelico, the only Artist to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. He was an Italian Painter in the early Renaissance era. He developed a method to extract the purest Blue from Lapis Lazuli. He was a Dominican Friar in Rome, a devout monk with a modern understanding of humanistic thinking.
The Shrine was layered with aged specialty papers and edged with a thin lace border. A thin wooden plaque of Fra Angelico is attached to the inside, along with a wooden script that reads "Faith" and paper flowers. The front is adorned with a small angel image, silver angel wings, and a pearl drop edging. It measures 3 3/4 inches in height x 2 1/4 inches in width, x 3/4 inch deep.
