A walnut holy water basin
This walnut holy water bowl is beautifully carved with floral motifs and in the center a medallion containing the letters I.H.S.
These letters form the so-called Christ monogram.
Its original meaning goes back to Greek and is the abbreviation of the name Jesus.
France, early 18th century.
