Description from the seller
Silver votive egg, decorated with portraits of Christ and the Mother of God, late 19th century - Greece
An ovoid piece worked in repoussé and chiseling, presenting on one side Christ in the style of the Mandylion, and on the other the Virgin Mary identified by the Greek Orthodox abbreviation ΜΡ ΘΥ (“Mother of God”). Upper decoration composed of volutes and neo-baroque motifs.
Several hand-engraved markings appear under the base and on the body of the egg (e.g., "Aa 999", "4 80", incised inscriptions); these are not official hallmarks, but common artisanal markings in regional productions.
A solid object, made of silver, with traditional iconography and handcrafted workmanship.
Photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complement their presentation. They allow you to assess their condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
