Bekroning voor een staf c. 1830 - 1850

This is a detailed pencil drawing of a crosier, created by the Firma Feuchère sometime between 1830 and 1850. Crosiers are ceremonial staffs used by bishops and abbots, often decorated with religious symbols or imagery. The drawing depicts a design for a crosier with an ornate top that features a circular motif surrounded by elaborate foliage and a figure in the center. The lower portion of the crosier is depicted as a twisted shaft, suggesting a decorative wood or metal construction. This design drawing is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and devotional practices of the 19th century.
