Silver boat censer. Spain, 17th century.

About the Item

Silver ship. Spain, 17th century. Naveta formed by forging, with the foot and the ends of the lid obtained by mold casting. Shaped like a symmetrical boat, it stands on a low circular foot, with a discoidal base and a short shaft with a central bob. The body is decorated by chiseling, with oval cartouches flanked by braces and crowned by rhombuses and crescents, located on the four axes and on a nuanced dotted background that continues outlining the mouth. The lid features the same chiseled motif. At the end of the stern there is a finial in the shape of an acanthus leaf, in relief, and at the end of the bow there is a handle in the shape of a banded pillar. The bow cover can be opened thanks to a central hinge. The piece has partial punches on the cover and body. · Size: 18,5x9x8,5 cms. Weight: 0.3 kg.

  • Reliquary Altar. Wood, Glass, Metal, Etc. Spain, 17th Century
    Located in Madrid, ES
    Wall reliquary altar. Carved, polychrome and gilded wood, glass, metal, etc. Spanish school, 17th century. Reliquary altar made of carved, gilded and polychrome wood composed of a part that imitates a curtain of the type usually used to cover altars and other pieces when they are not used, topped by a winged angel head, and a composition organized around a tondo large central stem, from which arise a series of stems ending in scrolls. Some of these stems (eight in total) eventually form a kind of crown of leaves in the center of which are as many circular reliquaries of saints. In this mentioned central tondo there is an Agnus Dei (or Ágnusdei) made of wax. On the visible side there is an image of the Risen Christ (inspired by the one sculpted by Michelangelo Buonarroti around 1520 and found in Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome) accompanied by angels with symbols of the Passion and on a pedestal. This image is known to have been used on these pieces before 1598, again in 1619, and again in 1690. These relics (they are blessed by the Pope) get their name because they are printed on the front, above the book with the seven seals , the haloed Paschal Lamb carrying the banner of the Resurrection. In the text around the image, it seems to include a reference to Pope Pius V...
