Out of stock
A devotional cross from the early 20th century, composed of a carved mother-of-pearl base with openwork silver finials and an applied silver figure of Christ. The design is notable for its Art Nouveau ornamentation and the expressiveness of the Christ figure in relief.
This modernist religious piece was likely made in Europe, either for devotional use or as a large rosary pendant. It features rivets on the back and a sturdy ring at the top for hanging. The openwork design evokes the liturgical ornamentation of the historicist period.
Ideal for collectors of antique religious objects or as a gift.
