Modernist Holy Family Cast Metal Plaque

This item is a modernist-style figural plaque depicting the Holy Family (Joseph, Mary, and the Christ child), likely cast from pewter or a similar heavy lead-free base metal with a dull silver finish. It measures approximately 3 to 4 inches in height. The figures are rendered with elongated, stylized features typical of mid-20th-century religious art. Joseph stands protectively behind Mary, who holds a young Jesus; both adult figures feature large, circular halos with intricate open-work or filigree floral/foliage patterns which contrast against the smooth, minimalist drapery of their clothing. The surface exhibits a sand-cast or pebbled texture throughout the bodies of the figures. In terms of condition, the piece shows a matte grey patina and minor surface abrasions consistent with age and handling. There are no obvious maker's marks visible on the front, but the quality of the casting and the specific modernist aesthetic suggest it was produced between the 1960s and 1980s. The piece may have been intended as a wall hanging or a handheld devotional pocket icon, given its flat reverse and ergonomic size.
