Abstract


The author discusses the iconography of a type of cross, the jeweled cross, in the vast and complex context of traditional clothing in the área of Sierra de Francia and Candelario (Salamanca province, Spain). Upon the basis of fieldwork, archival documents —which date from the late 1500's through the 1870's—, and the observation of the witnessing piece, he analyze from an ethnohistorical perspective the material and formal aspects of this cross as well as its associations with various characters of the Catholic pantheon. A comprehensive knowledge of the jewel illuminates a great deal of the society that treasured it.
