<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 10330263, member: 182&quot;]I would call it an altar piece.&nbsp; When I was in Italy, one of the museums told us that priests traveled around the country to places that didn&#039;t have a church and set up altars to use temporarily.&nbsp; The priest carried around portable items like this to set up their altars and say Mass.&nbsp; I could be wrong, but that&#039;s what it reminds me of.&nbsp; Most of the altar pieces we saw in Italy were made from wood, kind of like Russian icons.</p><p><br /></p><p>This might also have been displayed in someone&#039;s home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
