A finely relief-carved 18th century Italian bishop’s crest, crafted circa 1770, and finished in rich 22-karat gold gilding over gessoed wood. The crest features three symbolic bees, framed by intricate foliate scrolls, drapery swags, and tassels, emblematic of ecclesiastical authority and divine order.

An exceptional example of Italian religious carving, this piece exudes both Baroque elegance and sacred symbolism—ideal for collectors of gilded devotional objects, Catholic heraldry, or 18th century ecclesiastical art.
