About the Item
Pyx. Silver. Palencia, Spain. Pedro de Palacios, hallmark Juan de Peso, circa 1530.
With contrast and engraving marks.
A circular box with a pointed lid, made of silver in its natural color and gilded, decorated on the exterior with a series of slanted segments or waves on the body and lid, and moldings with concatenations of pearls. The piece is topped by a sphere divided in two by a band of small lines. The interior is gilded. Typologically, it follows a very common model for pyxes in 16th-century Spanish silversmithing. Compare, for example, with the one dated to the third third of the 16th century (inventory 2165) in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid (Spain), which also has spirals on the lid and a cruciform finial that the present example does not have; or several examples in the Diocesan Museum of Pamplona Cathedral; or an example with vertical drawers in the lid in the Museum of Sacred Art of Bilbao (Eleiz Museoa; inventory 0578) by Izangabea, dated between 1525 and 1530. At the base are the engraving mark and the hallmarks of the town and silversmith. One is the town mark, referring to Palencia (Spain). Another, with letters beneath a scale, is that of the assayer Juan de Peso, who worked from 1526 to 1532 (experts suggest that the triple hallmarking began in 1528). The third is that of the silversmith Pedro de Palacios (elected city assayer in 1532). Similar marks appear on the reliquary arm of Saint Lawrence in Santoyo, a work by Pedro de Palacios dated between 1528 and 1532, or, according to other experts, around 1526.
