Antique Embroidered Sacred Heart Scapular

This antique scapular was hand embroidered in silk threads by the nuns of the convents of Lima-Peru cloister. These were delivered to the important people of the clergy and were regarded as second-class relics, also known as, "detentes." This scapular dates to the 1800s.
