Processional staff finial - 33 cm - Brass, Metal - 1750-1800

Processional staff terminal made of metal and gilded brass, dating from the 18th century. The structure features a display case with three niches in which it houses three small statues in gilded brass, fully round and in full bust, of a patron saint bishop with mitre and pastoral staff. The upper part is shaped with repoussé decorations in vegetal motifs and is crowned by a Cross; all of it was designed to be mounted on a staff used during religious processions. These terminals were carried by members of religious confraternities during liturgical functions and public processions. The artifact dates to Italian Late Baroque of the 18th century, and was made in repoussé metal, with religious figures in gilded brass.
