Description from the seller

Silver statue crown, 18th century (probably Virgin Mary)

Ancient crown in repoussé and chased silver, intended for a devotional statue, most likely a Marian representation.

It consists of a circular band decorated with relief ovals and diamonds, alternating and accentuated by a fine matting finish.
The upper section is openworked and adorned with a continuous pattern of scrollwork, foliage and stylized fleurons, with almond-shaped motifs and volutes, typical of religious ornamentation from the seventeenth to the eighteenth centuries.

The plant-based decor, rhythmic and symmetrical, evokes Marian symbolism (purity, spiritual fertility), which reinforces the attribution to a Virgin's crown.

Uniform antique patina, minor deformations and wear consistent with liturgical use and mounting on a statue.
Traces of past impacts and missing areas on certain tips.

Head diameter 9 cm
