Description from the seller
Rare silver kiss of peace – Probably "AMAR" corresponds to the goldsmith Martin Amaro, established in Seville.
Exceptional Spanish silver Kiss of Peace in melted silver, engraved and chiselled, attributed to the Seville workshops in the 18th century.
This type of liturgical object was used during the celebration of the Mass to symbolically convey the gesture of peace among the faithful.
The iconography of the piece corresponds to Saint Domingo de la Calzada, recognizable by his traditional attributes — the rooster and the hen — associated with his famous Jacobean miracle.
The side coats of arms are attributed to Don Alonso de Castilla y Zúñiga, bishop of the diocese from 1523 to 1541, direct descendant of King Peter I of Castile.
Comparable pieces are today preserved in several Spanish institutions, notably the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas in Madrid and the Marès Museum in Barcelona.
Dimensions: height 15.5 cm; width 10.5 cm; Weight: 508 g
Very good condition, with a strong presence and a patina coherent with its age.
The photographs are an integral part of the object description and complement the presentation. They allow you to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The object will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
