the last supper chalkware and some history

Vintage "THE LAST SUPPER" 3d Wall Hanging Plaque 1950s?
jUdas standing on the end with the cup of Christ 
is one of the 12 disciples and Jesus in the middle.

15" long x 7 1/2 inches tall x 3 1/2 inches thick.  and it does have a wire hanger that is pretty sturdy built right into the chalkware piece. it is also stamped with a #12 on the top edge.

The interesting thing in this portrayal chalkware wall hanging there is no Mary Magdalene.

according to vampire lore, Judas was the original vampire which is also an interesting thought as you usually do not see Judas in these scenes holding the cup of Christ, where the authorian  legend believes the cup was to catch the blood of Christ when he was crucified...

just some interesting lore i have heard as i have collected many of these and always seem to find different things in each one.

The holy Grail was the cup of Christ. many little religious things to learn when collecting religious Last Supper Chalkware. 


this one will come especially gift wrapped and packaged for safe shipping via usps priority mail for US customers at no additional charge.
