Crozier Head

South Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306

The Latin inscription reads: "Anthony, Lord Bishop of Potenza, had this made, 1457." On the back of the throne of the seated blessing figures are the letters ds pr, certainly identifying him as Deus Pater (God the Father). This crozier and others in several southern Italian church treasures were made in a Neapolitan workshop.
