Description:
- Diptych with a folding travelling Stations of the Cross, made of high quality leather, and two worked metal plaques. Fully modernist style, probably made in Spain in the second half of the 19th century.
- The two parts of the diptych have been framed separately. They have not been removed from the frame for description.
- The exteriors of the diptych are probably flat with some iron stamping, although this has not been verified.
- The left body of the diptych contains the first seven Stations of the Cross, among which are various watermarks of flowers and geometric elements. A small Crucifix is superimposed in the centre.
- The right-hand side of the diptych contains the seven second Stations of the Cross, between which the corresponding filigree designs are spread.
- The perimeter leather of each Plate has a gilt iron fillet and two small gilt fleuron irons at the top.
- There are no identifying marks or inscriptions on the plates.
- The Plates are made of a white metal alloy, which could be silver. They seem to be very carefully executed, and it seems that they are stamped, although they could be made by means of a very fine embossing and chiselling.
- All these characteristics give the Stations of the Cross a very interesting patina, with a very attractive and high-quality appearance.
Conservation and damage:
- The Stations of the Cross, taken as a whole, are in a very good state of preservation.
- The Crucifix has lost both the upper and lower parts of the cross.
- The leather has some rubbing on the outer parts of the Stations of the Cross.
- The Object shows wear typical of it's age.
