18th century Italian gilded cross mounted on a hand-carved polished hematite heart adorned with aurora (sunset) quartz and a naturally formed cross shaped baroque pearl.
The 18th century cross artifact was originally from an Italian historic church and the original red bole showing through the gold perfectly coordinates with the polished hematite heart. The piece is inspired by "The Sacred Heart" in Catholic art history which symbolizes God's unconditional love for mankind.
Together, the elements create a historically significant, figurative work of old and new.
