Description from the seller
Silver reliquary pendant – Virgin of the Seven Sorrows – Spain, early 19th century
Oval silver reliquary pendant, finely engraved on both faces: a pelican feeding its young, symbol of Christ's sacrifice, and the Mystic Lamb lying on the altar, evoking the Passion.
The reliquary opens by a hinge and preserves under glass an old devotional image representing the Virgin of the Seven Sorrows (Mater Dolorosa), the heart pierced by seven swords.
Decor engraving of foliage and geometric motifs.
Stamps present on the bale, not identified with certainty.
Beautiful patina and old wear, notably on the interior engraving.
The photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complete its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any purchase.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
