Description from the seller
Pendant “Santiago Apóstol” – Saint James Matamoros – Spain late 19th century
A devotional pendant in gilded metal, set in an openwork neo-Gothic frame.
One side features a cruciform symbol associated with a sword, the other a finely engraved bas-relief scene.
Inscribed text (the side with the cross and sword) “SANTIAGO APOSTOL” (= Saint James the Apostle)
The presence of the sword is typical of Saint James the Greater (Santiago), often depicted either as an apostle or as a warrior.
Identification of the scene (other side)
The scene depicts: Saint James Matamoros (Santiago Matamoros)
We see a rider trampling an enemy to the ground — classic iconography of Saint James appearing miraculously during the battles of the Reconquista to aid the Christians.
The piece is accompanied by its matching chain.
Overall good condition, with light signs of wear.
The photos are an integral part of the item description and complement the presentation. They help to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before bidding.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
