Religious embroidery, the paschal lamb, second half of the 19th century

Embroidery made by Ets David in Lyon.
In the Gospel of St. John, Jesus is defined as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
An innocent victim, his death represents the ultimate sacrifice to save all men.
The lamb immolated in the Jewish religion has thus become a symbolic image of Christ.

Height of the embroidered part: 34 cm.
Width of the embroidered part: 49 cm.
