These alabaster bookends features Our Lady of Sorrows and a prayer for her intercession. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for all who have a devotion to Our Blessed Mother.

The original image is a lithograh from the 1900s, and shows Mary's heart pierced with seven sorrows, represented by swords.

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"x8", including the 4"x6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.
