Old Antique Virgin Mary Shadow Box
https://imgur.com/a/Ygc0pGJ - A friend purchased this at an estate sale many years ago and he is looking to possibly sell it. As you can see from the photos it is very, very old. Seems European to me but we are down in Texas. There is no artists mark on it. I'm not having any luck finding anything similar on eBay, Google, etc. Curious if anyone is familiar with old religious (I'm assuming Catholic) art such as this? Thanks!

That's a Peruvian retablo. Here's one purportedly dating to the early 19th century.

Not a clue what it'd retail for, but at least you've got "antique retablo peru" to google now.
Thanks!
