Bronze Christian Catholic figural incense holder 15th century European, Crucifixtion of Christ. Unsure how this treasure got out of the Catholic Church, but here it is. Purchased from the Netherlands from a known dealer of medieval and archaic treasures. This is an incense burner carried by the priests in processionals.
Much exquisite Etruscan work, small details of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ depicted on this unique devotional artifact.
Presented is a brass Crucifix with wonderful Art Nouveau detail in a heavy and fine brass, or possibly bronze from France. .
The Christ figure is portrayed with much detail upon a 14"(35.50cm) cross with Immaculate hearts portrayed in q French manner. The crucifix stands upon a tripod paw footed base. I wish I could tell you more about this fine religious artwork...However, all I know is it is from Paris, and a delightful rare find.
