Delve into the world of devotion with this exquisite antique Italian scapular, lovingly handcrafted by nuns in a convent during the 1800s. Shaped like a heart and measuring 3 3/4″ by 3″ (9.5 cm by 7.6 cm), this sacred work of art is a testament to the deep faith and meticulous artistry of its creators.

The heart-shaped scapular is a small, padded cushion crafted from coral pink silk, intricately hand-embroidered with silver metal thread. Its design features an exquisite 8-tipped star at the center, surrounded by delicate sequined flowers and leaves in shades of light blue, light green, and silver. The heart’s edge is adorned with a delicate metal thread lace.
