Provenance

Specific details unknown; it certainly originates from the Lombardy region (north of Italy)

This is a Latin cross with a rectilinear profile, made up of a central oval medallion and four arms, decorated lengthwise with triangular elements and four-leaf clovers at the ends. At its base, the piece has a hollow cone finished with a spherical coupling neck, or macolla, which serves to attach the cross to the staff, which would allow the piece to either stand alone or be carried on procession.
