Reference: Z6658D
Bronze peace holder. The plate that forms this element, formerly used in mass to give the kiss of peace with decorum, has been decorated with various reliefs: at the bottom, vegetal scrolls, branches, bunches of grapes and ears of wheat, in clear allusion to the Eucharist; a semicircular arch under 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, like the figures, show a clear influence of classical antiquity.
