Description from the seller
Large Caravaca reliquary cross in silver, of Spanish or Hispano-colonial origin - 18th century
Beautiful cross with a double traverse, finely worked and adorned on the obverse with a crucified Christ surmounted by the titulus INRI. The lower part features a representation of the Virgin, framed by two winged angels in strong relief.
The crossbars and the lower portion include several small diamond-shaped reliquary compartments (no relics present)
The reverse is also entirely decorated with religious scenes and figures in relief, bearing witness to the rich iconography of this devotional cross.
The whole piece is finely chased and engraved with geometric motifs, with twisted borders. An old articulated bale for suspension.
Presence of old hallmarks on the reverse, today partially worn and not allowing a definite attribution to a silversmith.
Condition: good overall condition with wear, scratches, oxidation and signs of use in keeping with its age.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement the presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any bidding.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
