Description
Origin and exact date unknown, but possibly 18th Century. Two nearly identical engravings, but with very slight variations in engraved lines, and one version with hand coloring added. Depicts Saint Apollonia holding dental forceps with an extracted tooth in her right hand and several extracted teeth in her left hand. The name "S. Apollonia" appears beneath the main image. The same prayer in Dutch accompanies each image. Both images mounted vertically on the same matboard. Original pieces each measure 10 X 7 cm.
