Description

The jewel came to the Gonzaga family as a gift to the future Duke Vincenzo I on the occasion of his baptism, by his uncles Albert V of Bavaria and Anne of Austria. Born as a pendant to wear around the neck, it was later transformed into a piviale clasp, with the addition of hooks, masked in the front face by the two opals. The main subject of the representation is the monogram of the Name of Jesus (IHS, with a cross above the middle letter), composed of diamonds and topped by a crown in Gothic letters. Above this there is the image of God; on the sides there are a warrior and a lady who offer each other a fruit; below, two putti and two climbing horses. The back face depicts the episode narrated, as stated in the writing below, in chapter 32 of the book of Exodus: while Moses on the mountain receives from God the tablets of the Law, people celebrate in adoration of the golden calf. The subjects of the two faces of the jewel are in opposition to each other (the golden calf represents a false idolatrous faith, while the Name of Jesus expresses the authentic faith), with the precaution that, in the original destination pendant, the false faith rested on the chest and therefore remained hidden, while the subject of the visible side shines in the radiance of gold and gems.
