Ca. 12-14th Century AD.Ancient Near East / Holy Land, Byzantine Empire. An exquisite cast copper-iron processional cross with added decorative elements. The cross is composed of two flared sections, pinned together in the center with a cast-bronze medallion. The lateral arms are adorned with pointed finials on their upper corners, and on top is an intricate bronze crucifix finial flanked by small palmettes. From each arm hangs a pair of suspended rock crystal beads, and a large tang projects from beneath the vertical arm for attachment to a long bronze or wooden pole. The circular bronze medallion is ringed with faint silvering and displays an image of the Virgin Mary and the infant Christ. A pointille Greek inscription on the obverse side reads, "SOFRONIYO," possibly an inexact genitive name form of "Sofronios," perhaps the individual responsible for dedicating the cross. Another inscription on the horizontal arms, though faded on the left arm, reads, "IA KONYA," perhaps a reference to the modern city of the same name.

Full title: A rare Chinese famille rose holy water stoup and cover, QianlongDescription:H.: 21 cm Provenance:An old Portuguese private collection. Ref.: - Bonham's, Cohen & Cohen 50 - Years of Chinese Export Porcelain, New York, January 24, 2023, for another example. (sold USD 6.375) (External link available on rm-auctions.com) The lot essay states:Stoups are intended to hold small quantities of holy water for people to dip their fingers in before making the sign of the cross. They were often placed at the entrances to churches or holy sites.The form is known in Delftware, faience and metalwork but is rare in Chinese export porcelain. Dias, 1996, suggests that the presence of a cover means it was probably for private use rather than in a church where continual daily use negated its need. A pair of the same type and decoration as this can be found in the Museu da Fundação Ricardo do EspÃrito Santo Silva, Lisbon. A few examples are known in blue and white of similar shape, marked IHS to the back plate, for usy by Jesuits.
