Bronze Cross With A French Reliquary From The 18th Century
A Christian cross...
With a reliquary in the center of the cross...
Made of cast bronze with chiseling...
It must have been partly silver plated with other parts gilded...
Wear over time has greatly diminished it...
From the 18th century...
FRENCH origin...
The representations of objects are...
Those of the passion...
The whip for flogging, the hammer to nail the nails, the tongs to remove them, the ladder to access the cross, the sting with a sponge to make Christ drink, the spear that pierced his side, and the dice to draw Christ's clothes...
Note that here in the Gers, in certain villages we find this type of cross...!
And certainly elsewhere in France...!
Otherwise no missing or broken pieces...
