18thCentury EnamelDoublePainting SilverFiligree SpanishRococo AprilBirth Pendant
About the Item
This early 18th-Century Spanish Rococo period silver-filigree double-sided pendant with dangle features miniature colorful enamel devotional paintings on both sides of a white porcelain centerpiece, which are associated with an April birth.
One side depicts a mountain landscape with a haloed richly-robed dark woman holding a lap-seated dark child and a holy orb. The scene likely represents the religious-mecca Montserrat in Catalonia, where one of Europe's significant blackened statues of Madonna-And-Christ-Child was transported to keep it safe from war centuries earlier. The opposite side of the pendant is more sparingly painted with a pink and maroon rose surrounded by a multicolor floral motif, which represents the Virgin Mary.
The hymn to the Virgin of Montserrat is known as "el Virolai", which is sung each day at noon by a choir. Suiting this pendant, the song begins: "Rose of April, dark-skinned lady of the mountain..." As her feast day is in April, this pendant would be an interesting substitute for that month's birthstone.
