Antique devotional crucifix made of carved mother-of-pearl and decorated with baroque silver finials. Sacred piece, circa 1900.
This delicate crucifix, of intense symbolism and beauty, was conceived as a personal object of faith, used in intimate ceremonies and as a gift. The cross is composed of iridescent white mother-of-pearl, supported by fine baroque silver finials, featuring a meticulously detailed relief figure of Christ.
Mother-of-pearl, associated with purity, the sea, and divinity, was frequently used in religious objects for its soft luster and ability to reflect light in celestial hues. The ornate corners and top ring allow it to be used as a pendant, as part of a rosary, or as a wall locket.
The white ribbon, which still retains its original shape, reinforces its possible ceremonial use, probably offered as a sacramental gift.
A unique religious jewel, ideal for collectors of sacred art, devotees of Catholic symbolism, or those seeking a mystical piece full of soul and memory.
