Description from the seller

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

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

It consists of a circular headband decorated with raised ovals and diamonds, alternated and underscored by fine hammering work. The upper part is openwork and adorned with a continuous pattern of scrolls, foliage and stylized floral motifs, with almond-shaped and volute motifs, typical of religious ornamentation of the 17th–18th centuries.

The vegetal, rhythmic and symmetrical decor evokes Marian symbolism (purity, spiritual fertility), which reinforces its attribution to a Virgin crown.

Old, homogeneous patina, slight deformations and wear consistent with liturgical use and placement on a statue.
Traces of old shocks and losses on certain tips

diameter of head 9 cm
