Actually it's stained glass.

I picked this thing up at an old antique shop and the only thing the little lady that owned place knew about it is that it is dated and came out of an old Catholic Church in New Orleans.
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it it seen One like it before.

It's going to look really good in our trailer, but she did tell me that I needed to buy some sort of light to put behind that would illuminate it.

I wonder what type of light would be best to buy? My ceilings are 12' it's way up there... I don't want to change the batteries out every other week, so what should I get?
Here's the pic.. It's prob 4'x4' close to it.

I see it's a cross? Knowing you, you will probably hang it upside down.

There's a good chance it's haunted. Best of luck.

Why not hang it in a window?

If it's on a high window - Put a light outside under the eaves and an inside switch so you can turn it off an on whenever you want.


ETA:

It's definitely been sitting in water. Use some 1:12 bleach water on it then rub it down with WD40 to kill insects or whatever larvae/eggs and fungus may be in that frame. Let it dry completely then re-seal it.

Just take out the sliding glass window in your back truck window and figure out a way to mount in there.
