Acetre. Bronze. Century XVI. Bronze piece that has a circular foot, and a circular body, with a mouth that extends outwards at the top, and a decoration in relief in this last area of masks that are reminiscent of certain Renaissance pieces with Medusa (the rings for the handle arise from two of these elements). This acetre, a vessel for holy water also known as a situla, is a piece that, in this religious context, appeared in the West in the Middle Ages. The present example is inspired by Renaissance pieces both in its lines and in its decoration and, therefore, is also reminiscent of works from Ancient Rome (situla of the Landesmuseum in Hannover, etc.).

Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. Pair of stirrups composed of a carved wooden block, in the shape of a half-moon at the front, and decorated on the outside with geometric and vegetal elements, and a surrounding piece of iron. By reserving metal for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently to make stirrups in Chile. The shape of the present pair, which follows a common typology of the time, seems to have been derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups for protection from water, branches, etc., being the artisanal development exercised above all by the Jesuits in the area which led to this type of carvings and ornaments, which survive to this day.
