About the Item

18th century Italian gilded and hand-painted processional finial with baroque pearls and adventurine and mounted on honey calcite. The piece was originally part of a processional pole from a historical church in Italy. The eucharist is painted and carved on one side and the other side has a bundle of wheat. The piece was 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 Italian processional finial is originally 18th century. The Italian artifact has been transformed with the organic elements to create a sculptural work of old and new. Through the preservation of the ecclesiastical artifact, it still carries historical prominence while being transformed into a contemporary, work of art
