This is St Lucy. The "palm" frond is a symbol of martyrdom. She is carrying a salver (plate) with two eyes; her martyrdom included gouging out her eyes. She died during the Diocletianic Persecution. She is venerated as a saint in the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox churches. She is one of eight women explicitly commemorated by Catholics in the Canon of the Mass. Feast day is 13 Dec. The Scandinavians have a tradition of making a special cookie on her feast called, "St Lucy's Cats"--google the history of the cookie for fun! The quarter is to reference the size of the item but is not part of the listing. Item is being sold as is in pictured condition. Pictures are part of the description. I am unsure of the exact age or history of this item. I found it while going through my gramps estate. please ask any and all questions before bidding, making an offer or purchasing this item. Thanks!
