In the museum course the little room of sacred art represents an appropriate introduction to the home chapel.
The little room, originally a passage corridor towards the palace guestrooms - today enucleated from the Museum seat -, in 1983 was prearranged to receive some objects of sacred art which were present among the furniture of the Miniscalchi-Erizzo house.



Collection Agnus Dei from Pius V
(1566-1572) to Benedict XIII (1721-1724).

 

We point out the eighteen ivory small plates, burin engraved, of Lombard area, to be dated before the half of the XVc.: they represent part of the decoration of a small tabernacle of which it is impossible to reconstruct with exactitude shape, dimensions, original number of the small plates applied and their arrangement.
In addition in the little room there is the remarkable Agnus Dei wax collection, chronologically arranged from Pius V (1566-1572) to Benedict XIII (1721-1724), which belonged to the canon Orazio Moscardo.



Ivory small plates, Saint Paul and Saint John the Evangelist.
