picture (ritual & belief: representations)

Framed picture reading "GOD BLESS YOUR MARRIAGE". The back of the glass seems to have been painted black, with the paint then being scraped away to form the words. Behind this, gold and silver coloured foils have been placed. In the centre is a section of floral printed paper, which has been inserted through a slit in the cardboard at the back.
