Romanesque pyx 12 Apostles (art.223)
The 12 Apostoli Romanesque pyx is a brass casting pyx and is a sacred Romanesque vase with stylized and essential lines that make it suitable for canteens of any style.
The pyx has a lot of line minimal and is made unique by a hand-chiseled process on the entire external surface. The cup is decorated with the figures of the Twelve Apostles, while the handle has four chiseled medallions with the effigy of the four Evangelists.
The manual chiselling process gives the pyx a refined and elegant style. In addition to the sobriety ending, this type of processing evokes in the Twelve Apostles a scene from the V angel .
The pyx is completed by a lid with a glossy finish and without decorations that enhances the engravings on the cup.
Its entirely silver finish makes it very bright and elegant. Its sobriety makes it suitable for ordinary liturgies but also for solemn ones.
The inside of the cup is finished with a gilding
