[BOOK OBJECT.] Imitation of an open book. Germany, ca. 1800.
140 x 160 mm. Wood or plaster. Provenance: purchased from Emil Offenbacher, 2 January 1962.
A curious imitation of a prayer book. The book bound in a plain black binding, with red edges is opened in the middle and shows a quotation from the fiftieth psalm in Germna in large Gothig type. It possibly formed part of a devotional statue.
