Arms Holder Pontifical Coat Of Arms In Polychrome Painted Wood Tu Es Petrus

Large painted wooden panel with papal attribute decoration enhanced with gold gilding and bearing the Latin words: Tu es Petrus (You are Peter).
In the center is a papal coat of arms² painted on canvas but almost erased, it is the arms of Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903)¹.
Our object is a papal coat of arms holder that must have had its place in a bishopric originally, when there was a new pope it was enough to slide the canvas panel and replace the new coat of arms.
Concerning the condition, there are some missing parts but overall it is healthy, there was a hard background applied to bring out the polychromy but on request we can apply a wax on it.
Delivery possible on request for the whole world.
¹Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci (March 2, 1810 – July 20, 1903) was the 256th Bishop of Rome and thus "successor of Peter" and Pope of the Catholic Church, which he governed under the name of Leo XIII (Latin name: Leo XIII; Italian name: Leone XIII) from 1878 to 1903.
He was buried in the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the cathedral of Rome.
²Shortly after the advent of heraldry, each member of the ecclesiastical hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church had their own coat of arms.
Since the end of the 12th century, the papal coat of arms, also called pontifical coat of arms, has accompanied the Pope along with those of the Holy See, pontificates with strong theocratic aims thus imitating sovereign courts.
