For those requesting more info here is the sentence; notevole sull'altare il gruppo ligneo della Pieta nel cui cuore d'argento sono racchiusi i nomi dei marinai che devolveano al tempio il frutto dei loro sacrifici. I'm struggling with the whole sentence so any help will be gratefully received.

the fruits of their work/sacrifices
When I first saw the term, I immediately thought of how to tone it down, the reward for their work or something, but when I read the full sentence, I began to doubt it was necessary. Must be wood carving of a Pieta, Jesus and Mary with Jesus on the cross or something similar and sailors who donated "the fruit of their sacfrices" to a church/temple. Need to know what was donated.

This is just another variation, but gets quite a few more hits on Google. Good luck!
