About the Item

18th century Italian gold leaf sunray on a celestite sphere and wrapped in coordinating blue crystal quartz. The 18th century gold leaf sunray was once a halo motif as part of a crucifix or an artistic depiction of a sunburst in a historic church. The piece has been combined with the celestite sphere and blue crystals to create a contemporary, sculptural work of organic and historic significance.
