M120 cross Size: 10" high x 2"18th century Italian church vase with a coordinating stalagmite and un sulfured natural citrine crystals. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftsmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The stalagmite has been mounted and adorned to appear as if it evolved together over time.
