Description from the seller

Set of five Agnus Dei in blessed wax (18th–19th century)

Coherent group of ancient Agnus Dei, cast in white wax or slightly tinted, featuring various reliefs: Agnus Dei bearing the cross, Marian scenes (Virgin and Child), saints (including one inscribed 'Benedictus Sculae'), and devotional compositions typical of the period.
Each medal displays an oval or circular casting with partially legible Latin inscriptions and signs of wear related to age.

An interesting ensemble due to the variety of matrices and overall preservation state, with traces of oxidation and characteristic micro-cracks of authentic Agnus Dei not restored.

Lot for a collector of antique devotion items or for documentation on wax religious casts.
Dimensions: approximately 4 to 8 cm.

Photos are an integral part of the description of objects and complement their presentation.
They allow for appreciating its condition and features.
Please examine them carefully first.

This set of Agnus Dei has been carefully preserved.
It will be shipped with the greatest care with tracking and well protected.


Good luck with your bids!
