Brown Abbey Press Plaque from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a small sculpture placed on a flat surface. The sculpture features a tiny mouse, tied with a thin white string, eagerly approaching a large piece of cheese that's filled with round holes, reminiscent of Swiss cheese. Both the mouse and cheese are crafted in a rustic style, with a brown, aged finish, giving them an antique appearance. The sculpture sits on a rectangular base with an engraved plaque in the front. The plaque humorously reads, "Lord, grant me patience -- but I want it right now!" The background is plain, likely a white or light-colored surface, ensuring the intricately detailed sculpture stands out prominently in the image.
