Italy, large bronze plaques of The Adoration of the Shepherds (inscribed parm invent), 190mm x 141mm, cleaned; and The Ascension, 208mm x 174mm; oval plaquette of The Deposition, 145mm x 133mm, pierced, all later casts; together with a pair (?) of rectangular bronze plaques of The Risen Christ, 137mm x 93mm; and St. Roch of Montpellier, 146mm x 97mm, 17th century or later, traces of mounting, cleaned and lacquered, very fine (5). The two last mentioned plaquettes appear to relate to each other in terms of style and fabric, if not in exact size. St Roch (San Roque) is shown as a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago with an angel tending his plague-ridden leg and with a dog bringing him sustenance (he is the patron saint of dogs and was invoked by sufferers of the plague).
(300-400 GBP)
