  • Decade: 1950s
  • Style: Catholic Americana
  • Material: Wood / Metal / Glass
  • Condition: Very good condition with an empty glass holy water vial, two candles, and a stained ritual cloth stored inside the sliding compartment

Commonly presented as wedding gifts or family keepsakes during the mid-20th century, these traditional sick call shadow boxes were kept in Catholic households for priests administering the Last Rites sacrament to the ill or dying. The top section of the wooden cross slides smoothly upward to reveal a velvet-lined recess, making this complete, weathered set a beautiful devotional artifact, historical display piece, or altar addition.
