Antique 1897 Baptismal Certificate Written In Swedish Framed In An Extremely Ornate Carved Wood Frame, Gesso?

This is an antique baptismal certificate for my great aunt, Myrtle Anderson, who was born in 1896. The baptism was in 1897.

The certificate is written in Swedish... as her were from Swedish but lived in Minnesota. :)

Approx 19 x 15 in.

Certificate is beautifully colored, hand written names and dates, and includes wonderful images! Also contains Bible verses ....I used Google Translate to show a couple of them translated, please see pictures.

The frame is exquisite....ornate Carved wood (possibly Gesso technique) frame.

Beautiful teal aqua soft blue tones with gold gilting.

Frame is made out of wood and heavily carved with details...see close ups.

Note, the upper back right top corner has a piece of wood missing, see pic, not seen from front.

.On the back of the frame there are hand written Bible verses.

There is also a personal inscription which contains my family names as it was gifted to me. Our names will be blacked out with a Sharpie before shipping, please see picture example.

One of a kind.

This is a true treasure of yesteryear 125+ years ago.... both the frame and the certificate itselfare so uniquely beautiful and remarkable.
