Copper tiles decorated with enamels. This is a nineteenth-century reproduction of the enamelled Cross of Paschal I (817 -824), an important reliquary in embossed and gilded copper, which preserved minute fragments of the Cross of Christ inside, and which became part of the Treasure deposited by Leo III (795-816) in the oratory called Sancta Sanctorum in Laterano. The Cross is made up of five panels, arranged in the shape of a Latin cross, on which seven episodes of the life of Jesus are represented with lively enameled figures. the upper panel shows the Annunciation and the Visitation of Mary; in the panel in the center the Birth of Jesus; on the left the Flight into Egypt and on the right the Adoration of the Magi; finally, in the lower arm, the Presentation of Jesus in the temple and the Baptism of Jesus. The panels are composed on a wooden base and presented in a glass case frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
