Devotional portable cross

Unknown

third quarter 18th century · Bronze · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

THis devotional portable cross was probably pilgrim's memento, copied partially from an older object of same kind, but the shape of the chalice, form of letters in sacred monograms, and three nails would all indicate a later date.
