Bronze pax. The plaque that forms this element, formerly used in Mass to gracefully exchange the kiss of peace, is decorated with various reliefs: at the bottom, vegetal scrolls, vine shoots, bunches of grapes, and ears of wheat, in clear allusion to the Eucharist; a semicircular arch beneath a palm-shaped finial highlighted with scrolls; and, in the center, a relief of the Deesis: Christ on the Cross, flanked by the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist. The decorative motifs of this work, as well as the figures, show a clear influence of classical antiquity.
