Description
This incredibly detailed enamel box celebrates the life of Pope John Paul II, Head of the Catholic Church until his death in 2005. The painting on the box’s lid shows the Holy Father with St Peter’s in the background, and the scenes around the base feature Krakow Cathedral, statues of Saints Peter and Paul, Michelangelo’s Pieta and the Pope’s coat of arms. The inner lid shows the Pope addressing a congregation, while on the base is a single word, Amen. Crafted in Bilston, once the heart of Britain’s enamelling industry, the box was made using the traditional technique of enamel on copper.
