Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on a stand. Gilt bronze, textile, metal. 18th century. A gilded bronze devotional medal mounted on a wire support with an oval frame adorned with a crest featuring symmetrical vegetal motifs and another finial below, also composed of vegetal elements and volutes. Within this plain frame is the figure of a saint. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical vestments, accompanied by small figures praying, positioned within a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. One of his best-known miracles was the resurrection of three children (depicted in this work) who had been sacrificed by an innkeeper to feed his customers. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here in liturgical vestments but without the customary mitre. The three spheres above the book are believed to allude to the miracle in which the saint helped the father of three girls to gather a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).
