DEVOTIONAL PENDANT. BRONZE, ENAMEL, ETC. SPANISH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY.

Devotional or steadfast medallion. Bronze, enamel, glass, etc. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. A devotional medallion commonly known as a "steadfastness" or "steadfastness in faith" medal, or a "confraternity badge" due to its shape. It consists of a triangular frame with a ring for hanging and simple enameled elements (juxtaposed "C" shapes, bands, and vegetal motifs), and two fronts, leaving a small space in the center of each, sometimes used to hold relics. On one side, the typical reverse of this type of piece is visible: the IHS with the second letter surmounted by a Latin cross and three nails, all surrounded by vegetal motifs and enameled in various colors. The front shows what appears to be an engraving of the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus in her arms. Note the presence of gilding. This type of devotional medallion appears frequently in Barcelona apprenticeship examinations dated around 1620-1630, but examples have also been found in Toledo, Córdoba, Seville, and other cities. Experts generally mention a series of confraternity plaques or medallions (oval, rectangular, octagonal, or triangular) produced in Spanish workshops primarily between 1620 and 1640. Their iconography is generally heavily influenced by the teachings of the Council of Trent, and they also proliferated overseas.

BRONZE OINOCHOE. POSSIBLY ITALY, 19TH CENTURY.

Oinochoe. Bronze. Possibly Italy, 19th century. An oinochoe, also known as an oinochoe, wine vessel, or oenochoe, was used in ancient Greece to draw wine from a krater (where it was stored) before serving it. Its heyday was during the Geometric period, and several types are distinguished by the shape of the mouth and the body. Most Greek oinochoai were made of terracotta, but some were made of precious metals, presumably among the social classes who could afford them, although very few have survived. The present example appears to be inspired by earlier works (compare one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art from around 460 BC, inventory number 1970.11.1, and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, inventory number 66.142.A).
