Vintage Bronze Nativity Icon Germany 1970s Christian Wall Plaque Relief Antique

 Product Description

Vintage Bronze Nativity Icon – Germany, 1970s

This unique vintage plaque, crafted in solid bronze, depicts a Nativity scene in high relief and was made in West Germany during the 1970s. The artwork features Mary and Joseph in adoration before the Christ Child, with two surrounding figures believed to be the shepherds or Magi.

Designed in a curved form with deeply sculpted details, this plaque reflects the Brutalist and mid-century religious art style of post-war Germany. The reverse side is inscribed in German with a spiritual prayer:

"Öffne, Gott, meine Augen und mein Herz für dein Erscheinen – Ich sehe: wie du mich liebst, du bist da."
(Translation: Open, God, my eyes and my heart for your appearance – I see how you love me, you are here.)
