Slate Plate · Virgen del Pilar

The Prayer Carved in Stone

Natural slate measuring 25 × 25 cm with the text of the "Virgen del Pilar" laser-engraved. The laser does not print: it raises the surface of the stone, so the letters appear in a very light grey that is part of the slate. It will not fade, chip, or scratch the way ink would.

The text is not our own translation: it is the official liturgical text of each language.

This is one of the longer prayers, so the piece features the identifying passage engraved on it rather than the full text: we prefer that it be legible rather than cramming it all in with unreadable font sizes. The complete text can be found in the blog post linked below.

Two Formats

• Desktop Plaque (29.95 €) — tabletop piece: serves as a tray, a trivet, or simply displayed where one prays.
• Wall Plaque (32.95 €) — with two 5 mm pre-drilled holes, 20 mm from each top corner, for hanging with a cord.

The Language

Available in 1 language: Spanish. The language and format are chosen separately.

Details

• Calligraphic typography, with the name of the prayer at the top and its symbol at the bottom.
• Engraved upon receipt of order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the engraving fade over time?
No. There is no ink: the laser raises the surface layer of the slate and the light grey you see is the stone itself.

Does the wall plaque come pre-drilled?
Yes, with two 5 mm holes already made. The desktop plaque comes without holes.

Is each piece identical to the photograph?
The engraving is, exactly. The stone is not: it is natural, and its veining and edge vary from one piece to another.

Can food be placed on it?
The desktop plaque serves as a tray or base. It should be washed by hand and not placed in the dishwasher.
