AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Silver altar cross with the Virgin Mary and Christ – stone base
A sober and elegant altar cross made of silver, conceived as a devotional and decorative piece with a strong symbolic presence. The cross features a dual iconography, carefully crafted:
• On one side, the image of the Virgin Mary, symbol of protection, intercession, and maternal love.
• On the other side, the figure of Christ crucified, a representation of sacrifice, faith, and redemption.
The vertical shaft rises from a tiered architectural base, lending stability and solemnity to the whole. The lower base is crafted in dark-colored stone, creating an elegant contrast with the gleam of the silver and reinforcing the piece’s liturgical character.
It is an object designed for both religious use and for collection, suitable for a home altar, a private chapel, or a space of contemplation.
