Rare silver Peace Kiss – Probably “AMAR” refers to the goldsmith Martin Amaro, based in Seville. Exceptional Spanish silver melted, engraved and chased Peace Kiss, attributed to Seville workshops in the 18th century. This type of liturgical object was used during the celebration of the Mass to symbolically convey the gesture of peace between the faithful. The iconography of the piece corresponds to Saint Domingo de la Calzada, recognizable by his traditional attributes — the cock and the hen — linked to his famous Jacobean miracle.
