Areas of time worn patina, as to be expected on an item with this age and history, also small losses to the paint.
'The Sacred Heart is often depicted in Christian art as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross, and bleeding. Sometimes, the image is shown shining within the bosom of Christ with his wounded hands pointing at the heart. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Christ's Passion, while the flames represent a furnace of ardent love'
