Panel Icon Carved Wood Leather Cordoba Saint John Matthew Spain XVIIth

Panel (forming an icon) in carved wood decorated with stylized plant friezes, in the center a decorative element in embossed and gilded Cordoba leather representing two evangelists in medallions: Saint John with the eagle and Saint Matthew with an angel, origin Spain or perhaps decorative element of the Brazilian baroque, from the late 17th-early 18th centuries. This panel is in good general condition. Probably a decorative element or woodwork of a church (there must have been a pendant with the other two evangelists). Leather marked 1425 in the middle. Please note: age-related accidents on the leather, some cracks and holes in the wood, wood probably repainted later, wear and tear, see photos.
