A Remarkable Antique Italian Sunburst With Christ Initials, Carved Wood, 1700's
This is a truly remarkable antique Italian sunburst with the Christ initials that dates from the 18th century. Discovered recently in Tuscany this fascinating treasure is hand carved from wood. Once it was gilded in gold and silver which through the passage of time has been flaking away creating in the procces a captivating patina with distressed appeal.
The central part of the sunburst holds the initials IHS with a cross denoting to Jesus Christ. From this center the rays of light shine amongst the clouds that represent the heavens.
The carving measures about 35 x 35 x 5.5 cm or approximately 13.7 x 13.7 x 2.1 inches. This is a one of a kind treasure and it is in the lovely antique condition as I discovered it. For the full condition please refer to the images!
