Item Details
Description
Antique finely carved high relief icon 2 1/4", portraying Albert VII, cardinal archduke of Austria who as governor and sovereign prince of the Low Countries (1559-1621) ruled the Spanish Netherlands jointly with his wife, Isabella, infanta of Spain at their first pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel. On double strand necklace with obsidian and metal trade beads, 30" when opened. Weight 6.4 oz. PROVENANCE: A Private Charleston SC Estate. The church was consecrated in 1627 and raised to the status of a minor basilica in 1922. It is reputedly the most frequently visited shrine of pilgrimage in Belgium. While the cult on the Scherpenheuvel (or Sharp Hill) is older, its present architectural layout and its enduring importance are due to the patronage of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella and the Counter-Reformation.
