Description from the seller
Crown for statue in silver, 18th century (probably Virgin Mary)
Ancient crown in repoussé and chased silver, intended for a devotional statue, most likely a Marian representation.
It is composed of a circular band decorated with ovals and raised diamonds, alternating and outlined by a fine planishing work. The upper part is openwork and adorned with a continuous decor of scrolls, foliage, and stylized fleurons, with almond-shaped motifs and volutes, typical of religious ornamentation of the 17th–18th centuries.
The vegetal decoration, rhythmic and symmetrical, evokes Marian symbolism (purity, spiritual fertility), which reinforces the attribution to a Virgin Crown.
Old homogeneous patina, slight deformations and wear consistent with liturgical use and mounting on a statue.
Traces of old shocks and losses on certain tips
Head diameter 9 cm
