18th century Italian silver leaf crucifix mounted on hematite base with mica inclusions. It has the original gilt figure of Christ and sunrays. The piece came from a historical church in Tuscany. It is adorned with silver leaf shells and chalcedony rosettes to replicate the other side of the crucifix.
The Italian cross is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of organic elements, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance. Interi is known for it's precious collections of sculptural ecclesiastical artifacts. Recently Interi exhibited The Crucifix Collection with Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy which just closed April 21st, 2024.
