Devotional triptych in gilded brass – Descent from the Cross - Brass, Porcelain - 1850-1900
A devotional triptych crafted from gilded brass and porcelain dating between 1850 and 1900 depicts the Descent from the Cross, a key event in Christian iconography illustrating Christ's removal from the cross after Crucifixion. Triptychs are three-paneled altarpieces or devotional objects designed to fold and protect sacred imagery. The gilded brass provides a rich and durable frame, while porcelain allows for detailed, lifelike figures and scenes. Such devotional art pieces played important roles in private worship or church settings, combining artistry with spiritual reflection during the 19th century.
