Circular plaque depicting Saint Francis of Assisi Embossed metal with silvered finish - Classical plaque depicting the iconography of Saint Francis of Assisi. The Saint is shown in profile, in a moment of intense meditation and prayer; his hands are brought to his chest in the traditional gesture of receiving the Stigmata or Franciscan humility. The workmanship is distinguished by the marked relief of the figure, which emerges strongly from the background, and by the meticulousness of the details, visible in the rendering of the folds of the habit, the knots of the cincture, and the expressiveness of the face. Along the perimeter runs the dedicatory inscription: ”S. FRANCISCUS DE ASSISI O.P.N.”. The object features a striking dark superficial patina due to the natural oxidation of the metal, which enhances its volumes and gives the piece a solemn and antique appearance. Subject: Franciscan iconography Technique: Embossed metal / silvering Condition: Good, with oxidations and signs of use that enrich its patina. Dimensions: [Insert diameter] cm
