Description
Exact date unknown, but believed to originate from Antwerp, Belgium, circa 1700. Depicts Saint Apollonia seated in a grape arbor and framed by a grape vine with bunches of grapes. She is holding dental forceps with an extracted tooth in her right hand and a martyr's palm in her left hand. The name "S. Appolonia" is inscribed directly beneath the main cameo image. Also beneath the main image there is a smaller scene in which she is bound to a stake while two executioners perform her martyrdom. Original piece measures 9 X 7 cm.
