About the Item

18th-century distressed Italian mecca arrow with a baroque pearl on a polished calcite base. The arrow was once part of a decorative motif in an artistic depiction in historic Italian church. The piece shows the tail of the arrow which signifies that it was show as piercing something or someone. It could have been part of a depiction of Saint Sebastian. He is ordinarily depicted being pierced by arrows and was the patron saint of archers. The arrow artifact is hand-carved and hand-painted with mecca gold paint. It is mounted on the polished calcite base and adorned with a natural-forming baroque pearl. The sculptural work is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the arrow is originally 18th century. The piece has been combined with the polished calcite and baroque pearl to create a historically significant yet contemporary work of art.
