"Marian Procession Staff From Trapani - 18th Century"
Our silver-plated brass staff comes to us from Sicily. It is a remarkable piece. In a rich rocaille setting nestles the Cross engraved with the initials PMDV, for "Pro Mariae Devotione Vera", meaning "For true devotion to Mary".At the top sits the crowned Virgin resting on a base decorated with three coral flowers from Trapani, which coral was symbolically considered the blood of the Savior. Dimensions: 70 cm high by 16 cm wide. Good condition
