Civil War Era Pocket Saint in Protective Case

 

A small and evocative devotional piece, this Civil War era pocket saint is housed within its original metal protective case. The figure, likely representing the Madonna and Child, is finely cast with discernible detail despite its diminutive size, intended for personal carry by a soldier as a source of comfort and spiritual reassurance.

 

The accompanying metal case shows honest age and wear, having served to protect the figure during transport and field use. Both elements present with a pleasing, untouched patina, indicative of period authenticity and use.

 

Such personal religious items were commonly carried by soldiers on both sides of the conflict, offering a tangible connection to faith and home amid the hardships of campaign life. A compelling and intimate artifact of the soldier’s experience.
