Description from the seller

Religious sculpture in .835 silver, representing Saint Benedict. The saint appears with his traditional iconographic attributes: mitre and abbatial staff, a book in hand (alluding to Saint Benedict's Rule) and the raven at his feet — a symbol associated with his hagiography.

The modeling of the garments is enriched by chiseling work visible in the drapery and decorative elements, creating contrast between polished surfaces and textured areas.

The piece rests on a circular wooden base, with a silver plaque engraved “Saint Benedict,” the base lined with velveteen (or a similar synthetic material).

Estimated period: second half of the 20th century (c. 1960–1980).
