"18th Century Reliquary Cross"
A fairly large cross compared to those I have already had for sale In solid silver From the end of the 18th century Controlled French, the hallmark being too difficult to take a picture of because under the clip, I have put the counter control for you (the bigorne) The silver titration must be 800/1000 The cross opens, it was to make a reliquary There is a lock of hair and dried flowers on a rectangle of silk .... In beautiful condition, hinge and fastener included. On one side the Virgin Mary carrying the child in application On the main side the Christ on the cross, has been damaged, I think voluntarily, as on the porcelain virgins where a finger was broken as a sign of mourning... weight... 14 g 6
