Saint Dominic of the Calzada - Silver - 1750-1800 - Kiss of Peace

Rare silver kiss of peace – Probably "AMAR" corresponds to the goldsmith Martin Amaro, established in Seville. Exceptional Spanish silver Kiss of Peace in melted silver, engraved and chiselled, attributed to the Seville workshops in the 18th century. This type of liturgical object was used during the celebration of the Mass to symbolically convey the gesture of peace among the faithful.
