122 Abbess’ Crosier
Lithuania, 18th c. (?), Vilnius, 3 – 4 decades of the 20th c.
The crozier was commissioned by the last Vilnius abbess, Julija Anzelma Miličiūtė, but there is reason to believe that elements of a previous work were used to create it: the shape of the leaves is akin to the baroque, there are marks of the lamb figurine having been reattached, and one baroque-style flower-shaped screw remains in the crown. Several portraits of Vilnius Benedictines have been preserved, in which they are depicted with pastoral staffs (croziers), the tops of which are shaped like laurel wreaths with the Lamb in the centre.
