Slate Plate · Salve Regina

The Prayer Carved in Stone

Natural slate measuring 25 × 25 cm with the text of the "Salve Regina" laser-engraved. The laser does not print: it raises the surface of the stone, so the letters remain in a very light gray that is part of the slate. It does not rub off, fade, or scratch like ink would.

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

Two Formats

• Tabletop Plate (29.95 €) — table piece: serves as a tray, a trivet, or simply supported wherever one prays.
• Wall Plaque (32.95 €) — with the two 5 mm holes already drilled, 20 mm from each top corner, for hanging with a cord.

The Languages

Available in 6 languages: Español, English, Français, Italiano, Português, and Latin. The language and format are chosen separately.

Details

• Natural slate: each piece has its own grain and split edge, so no two are identical to the photo.
• Calligraphic typography, with the name of the prayer at the top and its symbol at the foot.
• Engraved upon receipt of the order.
• Shipping throughout Europe.

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 gray seen is the stone itself.

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

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

Can food be placed on top of it?
The tabletop plate serves as a tray or base. It should be hand-washed and not put in the dishwasher.
