064 Cross

Palestine (?), 18th c. 

Flower motifs, angel heads and figures of saints are carved on this Baroque cross. Below the cross, the scenes of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, St Anthony of Padua vision and Mary’s Visit to Elizabeth are depicted. The mark of Jerusalem cross suggests the work was created in Franciscan monastery workshops in the Holy Land and brought to Lithuania by an unknown pilgrim.
