This bronze object was passed down from my grandmother, whose family came from Pristina (Kosovo). It weighs 1.40 kg and features a relief of the crucified Jesus with the INRI inscription above, along with Gothic-style decorative elements at the top. It appears to be a broken piece from a larger religious object — possibly a bell or church panel.





I estimate it could be from the 14th to 18th century, but I’m not certain.


Any insights about its origin, purpose, or time period would be greatly appreciated.

Incredible art work. Whoever made it was very skilled.
when you look at the works made during that period, this one clearly stands out with the best craftsmanship — you can tell it was made by a true artist.
 
Excellent find !
