Description

Pendant-reliquary; Spanish School; XVII century. "Virgin with Child and Christ carrying the cross". Oil on copper. Presents faults in the glass. It has a silver metal frame. Measurements: 5 x 5 cm. This reliquary shows two religious scenes in one of them you can see the Virgin enthroned with the Child in her arms and on the other side the image of Jesus Christ on Calvary carrying the cross. This type of reliquaries were very common since the Gothic period, used to contain relics of the saints. It should be remembered, however, that at that time practically any element that had been in contact with the saint or his mortal remains (cloths, burial soil, etc.) was considered a sacred relic. The best examples were made of precious metals. It presents faults in the glass. It has a silver metal frame.
