Wooden plaque, painted black, of the Baptism of Jesus Christ by Saint John the Baptist with the dove of the Holy Spirit hovering above, possibly 17th century Dutch from a larger piece of furniture, tabernacle or altar. There are 4 small holes probably for nails. Size is 7" x 7.75" Condition is good, except that the paint has worn from the face of Jesus and 2 or 3 small nicks. The light places or white marks are tricks of the camera. The panel is uniformly dark.
