🔴 Ex voto Heart SILVER 800 Cm32 height 48 Baroque design Italy vintage RARE
A monumental votive offering, carved in the silence of devotion.
A heart that burns and tells a story, between sacred matter and gratitude, is not a simple votive object, but a work that holds memory, prayer, and mystery.
Crafted entirely by hand in unstamped 800 silver , this wall or display votive offering, dating back to the second half of the twentieth century, encapsulates the eternal language of faith in a Baroque sculpture of great visual and emotional impact.

The central element is a large flaming heart, made with an embossed technique and framed by an oval of sacred symbols engraved in relief, which tell - like a gospel engraved in metal - the Passion of Christ:
• Crossed nails – symbol of the Crucifixion
• Fluted column – flagellation
• Oblique Cross – Golgotha
• Scale – Deposition
• Hammer and pincers – instruments of torture
• Spear and stick with sponge – wound in the side and suffering
• Eucharistic chalice – the sacrifice of blood
• Face of the Redeemer crowned with thorns – icon of mercy
• Gallus – denial of Peter
• Six-pointed star – messianic light, fulfillment of prophecy
All symbols enclosed by an embossed filigree border, worked in baroque floral motifs, decorated with green and red semiprecious stones, which shine on the openwork base, creating an extraordinary scenographic effect: at the top is the yellow gold-plated crown with the cross symbolizing the sovereign reign of God over the people.
A devotional composition with a theatrical influence, ideal for collectors, votive chapels, churches, votive shrines, sacred art environments or galleries.
