| Summary: | The cross-reliquary of San Salvador de Fuentes is a luxury crucifix in wood and silver created in the late twelfth century for this parish church of the Villaviciosa area, along the central coast of Asturias. The object has been in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1917. The main aim of this contribution is to initially analyse the symbolism of the object’s iconographic components to then examine its liturgical roles, paying special attention to the patroness of the cross, the noblewoman Sancha, and the perception of this precious performative reliquary in her local community |
