To: Hebrews 11:6

Favorites are #3 and #4; the Ghiberti relief at $8; the 16th/17th c. Spanish wood sculpture at #29.
The panels at #7 and #24 are from the 15th c. Silver Altar of St. John, magnificent work by the silversmiths of Florence.

So, the Silver Altar was 116 years in the making. What a labor of love!

Thank You etabeta; I was wondering about those. Surprising that they have not been looted for the metal value.
