Pyx. Carved and Polychrome Wood, Spanish School, 16th Century
About the Item
Pyx. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 16th century.
Box with a circular base and a frustoconical body that has a vaulted lid topped with a knob with a molding, it is made of carved wood and preserves traces of gilding on its outer surface and also on the interior (lid and base). In this area it is decorated with some vegetable-themed carvings on the lid and winged angel heads joined by curved textiles reminiscent of garlands on the front of the body. Typologically, the shape of the piece is reminiscent of silver pyxes: compare with two 16th century specimens from the Burgos Museum (one with a flatter body than that of the present piece, but with a similarly shaped lid; another similar to this one). , a pyx from around the middle of the 14th century in the Cluny Museum with proportions similar to this wooden box, etc. Likewise, it would be necessary to mention at least the one known as the Salero de San Fernando (Convent of San Clemente in Seville). Pyxes or hosts made of wood are not frequent, either because they prefer the use of metals for these liturgical objects, or because they are less well preserved or are replaced more frequently than silver ones. One is known from the 16th century from the Balkans or Venetian, preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; there is a wooden pyx case in the same museum dated between 1470 and 1540; etc. ·
