About the Item

Paper holder bronze, 16th century. Portapaz made of bronze with an "asymmetric" handle on the back, which presents a decoration in light relief framed in an architectural composition decorated with elements of classical influence (scallop, plant elements in the upper area, columns with shaft decorated, architrave, basement with semicircular arches ...), which has a heraldic shield in the center of the lower area. Under the head of a winged angel, the central theme of the holder is presented: Crying on the body of dead Christ, with the cross in the background, Mary with Christ, flanked by two figures. The heraldic shield is very similar to that of the House of Mendoza used by Íñigo López de Mendoza and de la Vega, I Marqués de Santillana, and parent and head of the Casa Ducal del Infantado (which also presents it)." Size: 7.5 x 4 x 12 cms.
