Source: Church of San Martino at Argiano The navicule stands on a round stepped foot, linked by an acanthus leaf motif to the main body and further emphasised with bean-shaped embossing. One of the two scrolls on the cover, decorated with shell and spiral motifs, bears the inscription: "SOC. B.M. V. ANNTAE S. MARTINI F. 1775", which gives the exact date of the navicule's execution, as well as its provenance from the Company of SS. Annunziata, next door to the Church of San Martino at Argiano. On the edge of the cover we can find the initials "G.G." and "N.G.", which probably refer to the name of the goldsmith and the assayer of the mint, impressed beside the image of a left-facing lion passant, a stamp that was used by a Florentine workshop in the third quarter of the 18th century. This same stamp can also be found on a thurible carried out at the same time as the navicule, its "pendant", where the same decorative design is repeated. back print
