Historical Context & Origin

Region: Latin America (likely Peru or Bolivia)
Material: Cast and engraved brass with iron shaft
Period: 18th–19th century

Description
A rare Spanish Colonial processional cross finial, cast in double-sided form. One side presents a crucifix with Christ on the cross, framed by radiating sunburst arms and engraved with the inscription “Señor de la Agonía” (Lord of Agony). The reverse depicts a saintly figure holding a fish, inscribed “Fundador Pascual Isidro”—likely honoring the founder of a confraternity or religious brotherhood. Originally mounted atop a wooden staff, this finial embodies both craftsmanship and devotional function within Spanish Colonial Catholic tradition.

Features

- Cast brass finial with radiating sunburst cross and engraved inscriptions

- Crucifix with Christ on one side, saintly figure with fish on reverse

- Hand-engraved details reflecting Spanish Colonial ecclesiastical artistry

- Iron socket mount for attachment to a processional staff

- Double-sided design for visibility during processions

Cultural Significance
Finials of this type were carried during Catholic processions by confraternities (cofradías) in colonial Latin America. The crucifix imagery reflects penitential devotion, while the reverse inscription likely commemorates a local patron or community founder. Objects such as this highlight the blend of European iconography and regional religious practices central to colonial worship and public devotion.

Condition
Heavy surface patina and age wear consistent with centuries of use. Stable with minor corrosion to the iron shaft and natural wear to the brass. Structurally sound and retains strong devotional presence.
