About the Item
Silver Pendant with Mother-of-Pearl Cameo of the Virgin and Child
German, mid-15th century
Silver, parcel-gilt, mother-of-pearl, baroque pearl
Measurements: total height 7 cm
A devotional pendant of tear-shaped form, set with a carved mother-of-pearl cameo in relief depicting the Virgin and Child. The Mother of God is shown crowned and in profile, tenderly supporting the Christ Child on her lap. The carving, with its luminous iridescence and softly modelled planes, captures both the sacred intimacy of the subject and the shimmering qualities of the material. The mount is worked in silver with chased foliate detail and suspends a natural baroque pearl drop.
The reverse is finely engraved with radiating rays, clouds, and the inscription INRI, centred by a parcel-gilt figure of the Crucified Christ affixed to the ground. This juxtaposition of the Virgin and Child with the Passion underscores the dual themes of Incarnation and Redemption, reflecting late medieval devotional practices.
