Pair of 17th Century Italian Carved Arms of Christ with Crystal on Tourmaline

About the Item

Pair of 17th century Italian (Venetian) carved arms of Christ decorated with crystal and tourmaline on tourmaline in matrix. These hand carved arms came off a large crucifix from a church in Venice. The crucifix itself was originally black and symbolizes in Italy that Christ is for all people. The decoration of both the crystal and tourmaline is natural in their formation and coordinates with the artifacts to give the illusion that they evolved together over time.

  • 17th Century Italian 'Florence Fragment' Vase with Crystal Quartz Clusters
    By Interi
    Located in Dublin, Dalkey
    17th century Italian vase with a crystal quartz cluster on a crystal quartz cluster base. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood.

The crystal quartz clusters are applied to the piece to create a sculptural work. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...
