- Lot Description
Western Europe, Spain, Renaissance, ca. 1500 CE. A beautiful two-part reliquary cross known as an "enkolpion," comprised of both gold and silver (41% gold [equivalent to 9K+ gold] and 57% silver). The front plate of the cross has a quartet of three-lobed arms, a central crucifix pierced through the center, and a small hinge along the lower end. The main body of the cross exhibits a similar form as the top, has two leaf-adorned branches projecting from the lateral arms, and features two pierced lock holes on the upper and lower arms. Reliquary crosses have hollow interiors meant to hold small but religiously-significant articles from past saints and members of the Holy Family such as a tooth or a lock of hair. Size: 3.75" W x 2.9" H (9.5 cm x 7.4 cm); quality of precious metals: 41% gold (equivalent to 9K+) and 57% silver; total weight: 52.8 grams.
Provenance: private English collection; ex-private collection, Spain; ex-private collection, Southern France
