Silver holy water font made of openwork silver with curved scrolls framing the crucified Christ. The lower shell-shaped cup evokes the water of baptism, a symbol of spiritual initiation and the purification of the soul.
Due to its size and design, it is a portable devotional object, designed to accompany prayer on personal altars, small oratories, or even as a travel item for those who kept their faith alive outside the church. It can also be sold as a pendant on a chain.
The ornamental lines evoke the attention to detail and spiritual beauty characteristic of the late Baroque, and its craftsmanship probably dates from the mid-20th century.
The original patina remains intact, lending texture and history to the silver. A devotional piece of jewelry that evokes the intimate bond between the object and faith, ideal for collectors of sacred art, lovers of religious details, and those seeking a meaningful protection amulet.
