Probably German late 17th century

A late 17th century silver Corpus Christi

Thinly beaten silver with engraved and chased decor, the back left open. A depiction of Christ crucified with three nails with His arms stretched far upwards and His head sunken to one side in death. The facial type of this figure, inspired by Flemish prototypes, suggests an origin in late 17th century Germany.
Minor wear throughout. Height 40 cm, width of arms 12.5 cm.
