Pyx. Silver. Palencia, Spain. Pedro de Palacios, hallmark Juan de Peso, 16th c

Specifications

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.
