Exclusive to the British Museum, a replica of a plaque showing the archangel Michael.

Hand-made in the UK, this resin replica is based on one half of an ornamental ivory diptych, which represents the archangel Michael standing at the top of a flight of six steps under a rounded arch carved with acanthus ornaments and supported by fluted columns.

Within the arch is a wreath bound with ribbons and containing a cross. Below this, Michael stands holding an orb surmounted by a jewelled cross in one hand and a staff in the other.

A fascinating an beautiful gift for the home.
