View AllPyx. Silver. Palencia, Spain. Pedro de Palacios, hallmark Juan de Peso, 16th c.
Located in Madrid, ES
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...

Silver Pax O Portapaz, Spain, 16th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Portapaz. Silver in its color and gilded. Century XVI.
Portapaz made of silver that has a handle (decorated with delicate plant motifs similar to those of the pilasters) and a female and a male bust at the bottom, as well as other architectural elements on the back, and, on the front, an architectural composition classicist basement (with busts flanking a flower and a cross), two pilasters (vegetal decoration and capital recalling the composite order) with entablature (flowers flanking an angel's head; moldings), and a semicircular arch finish with elements veined in relief under cross and flanked by two architectural motifs in the upper part. This composition frames and enhances a gilt silver relief where you can see the Lament or Cry over the Body of Christ, with the Virgin holding the head of Jesus, Saint John at her side, the Magdalene and other characters, a cross following the group and a landscape background with houses and plant elements. This architectural structure mentioned is similar to the one present in other 16th century portapaces, such as that of the Magdalena de Dos Hermanas parish (Hernando de Ballesteros el Mozo, around 1575); or that of the Galaroza parish (same author and date); or that of the portapaz of San Miguel de Jerez de los Caballeros (in some details); etc. As for the relief, it is possible to clearly see a strong Italian influence, and the similarity between it and important pieces such as the Portapaz known as “de Cisneros by Juan de Burgos (1493-1497; MuseoCatedralicio de Alcalá de Henares), as well as in paintings and reliefs. Also noteworthy are both the male and female busts in the lower area and the Maltese cross (or Saint John's) that appears in this area. This symbol was used since the 12th century as an insignia by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as the Order of Malta...
