Antique Spanish Colonial Silver Moon for Madonna

This is a rare and beautiful Andean silver luna, or crescent moon, which would have been attached to the base of a Madonna or Virgen Santo. The crescent moon usually signifies the Virgin Mary's glory over eternity and is an important attribute in Spanish Colonial art. This luna, formed from high content silver, is from Bolivia and has the added beauty of a face formed into the moon. This is a rare and wonderful Spanish Colonial devotional item!
