Devotional plaque with Saint Jerome. Bronze. Spanish school, 16th century. Rectangular devotional plaque made of bronze, with a frame and a ring at the top and a figurative decoration in relief on the front. In this piece we can see an elderly man, with a crucified figure in one hand, a skull and a book at his side, a lion peeking out in one corner and allusions to a rural setting in the background, as well as a hat on the left. This “model” of plaque was very popular in ancient times (the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid preserves a 17th-century example, etc.).
