Hanger met het Christusmonogram c. 1575 - 1635

"Hanger met het Christusmonogram" (c. 1575 - 1635) is an etching by the German artist Corbinian Saur. The engraving depicts a design for a pendant featuring an ornate oval frame with the inscription "IHS" (a monogram for Jesus) surrounded by intricate floral motifs. Saur's detailed design would have been useful for goldsmiths and other craftspeople who created jewelry and decorative objects. The artwork is a prime example of the elaborate ornament and religious themes common in 16th and 17th-century European art.
