Saint Nicholas Devotional Pendant on Support, Bronze, Textile, 18th Century

About the Item

Saint Nicholas devotional medal on support. Gilded bronze, textile, metal, 18th century. Golden bronze devotional medal placed on a support by wires that has an oval frame enhanced with a top with vegetal elements in symmetrical composition and another top down also of plant elements and scrolls, and the figure of a saint inside that smooth frame. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical attire, accompanied by small figures praying, located in a barrel or bucket. San Nicolás de Myra or de Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. C. One of his most famous miracles was to raise three children (shown in this work) sacrificed by a hotelier or innkeeper to feed their customers. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here with liturgical vestments but without the usual headgear of the distinction (mitra). The three spheres that appear on the book would allude to the miracle in which the saint helps the father of three girls to collect a dowry for them (as it is three golden spheres). Size: 9 x 11.5 x 1 cms.
