These alabaster bookends feature the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for everyone with a devotion to Mary and her Immaculate Heart.

The original artwork is the oil painting Immaculate Heart of Mary by contemporary artist Jason Jenicke. 

The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish. 

Each measures roughly 6" x 8", including the 4"x 6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

Text reads:

"O Most Blessed Mother, Heart of Love, Heart of Mercy, ever listening caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today..."
