Religious Madonna and Child Illuminated Wall Plaque

This item is an antique or vintage religious wall plaque, likely designed for a home altar or devotional space. It features a bas-relief depiction of the Madonna and Child, crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly pewter or a similar alloy, with areas of gold-toned accentuation, particularly around the halos of both figures. The relief is mounted on an arched wooden backboard with a visible grain, suggesting a hardwood. The overall dimensions appear to be roughly 8-12 inches in height. A notable distinguishing feature is the integrated electric light fixture positioned at the base of the plaque. This fixture, also made of a silver-toned metal, is ornately decorated with a small, sculpted angelic figure. It holds a small, clear glass or plastic vessel, presumably for a small light bulb, which is currently visible and contains what looks like a tiny, perhaps candelabra-style, bulb. Power is supplied via a long, thin, light-colored electrical cord terminating in a two-prong European-style plug. The condition shows signs of age and use, including dust accumulation, particularly in the recessed areas of the relief and on the wooden base. The metal portions exhibit a natural patina consistent with age, and some areas, especially the gold accents, show minor wear or tarnishing. The electrical plug appears somewhat discolored and aged. The wooden backboard shows minor surface wear but no apparent significant damage like cracks or chips. The overall craftsmanship suggests a devotional object produced in the early to mid-20th century, possibly adhering to traditional religious art styles. The integrated light feature points to a functional and decorative piece intended for illumination during prayer or quiet contemplation.
