Antique SPANISH Amulet Archangel & Madonna
<P>
Jewelry Pendant, Devotional piece- 2 images


<P>
This stunning devotional amulet was discovered Central Spain, a piece from a private collection of antique Spanish Relicuario. Also referred to as relicario, relicuario or reliquario, this piece dates from the mid to late 19th C. A small oval glass is edged in a silvered frame. Between the two panes of glass, two hand painted oil paintings on paper. One image depicts the Virgin Mary standing upon a crescent moon, held aloft by a small Angel. The opposite side shows a majestic Archangel with a staff raised and flowing robes. The works are executed in a wonderfully decorative style, slightly primitive and very beautifully composed with rich colors.
<P>

The amulet measures approximately 1.75? inches tall (not including the hanger) x 1.5? across.
<P>
This handsome antique Spanish piece would have been carried or worn by a private individual as a object of devotion. The work may also have been hung on the wall from a chain or cord. Such pieces were treasured by their owners as religious souvenirs amulets and talismans. This piece is very decorative with wonderful coloration.
<P>
The pendant is in wonderful condition for a piece of this age. It shows expected signs of age and gentle wear. It remains perfectly functional, ideal to string on a silver chain and wear as a striking piece of jewelry, or too displayed as a devotional work of art.
