Custom Gift Box made for the former President of the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, Elena Leontjeva, whom I traveled with in France while doing some research. This is a photo of the actual sculpture which adorned the Chapel of Bermont where Joan of Arc worshiped as a child. The Lady here depicted was moved to the Basilica constructed in the early twentieth century at Domremy, the tiny village where Joan grew up. Bermont chapel had fallen into disrepair, exposing the interior to the elements. The chapel has been recently restored, and will be ready for this year's 600th anniversary of the saint's birth. The chapel of Bermont rests in the forest on a ridge overlooking the village, and Joan went there as often as she could.
