Pendant With Agnus Dei And The Virgin Mary With The Child Late 15th Century
A slightly oval pendant with a sturdy silver filigree frame with finely inlaid copper wires, the edge with remnants of fire gilding. Medallions of finely nielloed silver sheet are set on both sides. One side depicts the Virgin Mary with the Child, the other side the Easter lamb with a flag. A rigid carrying loop is attached to the top. Dimensions: 3.8 x 3 cm, weight: 17 g.
The Agnes Dei is both a powerful symbol of Christ as sacrifice and, in the later Middle Ages, a tangible object of great power.
