La urna de carey del Santo Sepulcro de Logroño

Resumen:
One of the art treasures of the Co-cathedral of Santa Maria de la Redonda of Logrono is the Holy Sepulchre, a heritage of Gabriel de Unsain, donated in 1694 for the purpose of establishing the religious ceremony of the Descent from the Cross on Good Friday. Within the whole composition, consisting of a well crafted carving of the Lying Body of Christ and a dressed carving of Our Lady of Solitude, stands out the magnificent urn of the Holy Sepulchre, made of tortoiseshell, mahogany and silver. While formerly the urn was related to Sevillian models, the recent discovery of the contract shows that it was made in Valladolid in 1693. Blas Martinez de Obregon did the design and the carpentry masters Sebastian Ramirez and Antonio Ferrel made the urn.
