- alt. cm 44x39
di forma mossa coronata da croce centrata da tre figure raffigurante la Madonna tra Santi ciascuna sopra acquasantiera, minime mancanze e minimi restauri
Condition
Piccole mancanze di fiori: tra le quali uno al centro del pinnacolo di destra tra cimasa centrale e cimasa laterale con putto; due fiori mancanti sopra l'arco del Santo a sinistra; due fiori mancanti sotto l'acquasantiera a destra; due fiori mancanti a destra del cherubino che centra il grembiale.
Altre minime e non apparentemente visibili mancanze a minimi dettagli di alcuni particolari in corallo possono essere ipotizzabili anche se non perfettamente individuabili a una visione diretta dell'opera.
Dal retro si evince che la filigrana è stata diffusamente rafforzata con minime saldature e minimi nodi in fil di ferro allo scopo di rafforzarne la struttura e allo scopo di riparare le piccole rotture.
Le due acquasantiere laterali fissate con vite e bulloni moderni.

Catalogue Note
Sono molto rare le acquasantiere con una decorazione così elegante filigrana di argento di così grande dimensione. Per una acquasantiera in filigrana vedi il catalogo della mostra Coralli, Museo Pepoli, Trapani, 1986, cat. n. 116.
