Devotional reliquary from the 19th century containing a relic Ex Fune (from the rope associated with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ). The relic is carefully preserved beneath glass and accompanied by its original identification label, reflecting its connection to the sacred events of Christ’s suffering and sacrifice.

The reverse of the reliquary displays an intact red wax episcopal seal, along with red silk threads, which assure the authenticity of the relic’s ecclesiastical origin. These elements remain undisturbed, affirming the relic’s preserved and original condition.

In Christian tradition, ropes were used during several moments of Christ’s Passion, including His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane and His binding before various authorities prior to the Crucifixion. Relics identified as Ex Fune are therefore associated with the instruments that bore witness to Christ’s humiliation, obedience, and suffering. As objects connected to the Passion, they have long inspired devotion and contemplation among the faithful, serving as tangible reminders of the events that culminated in the Redemption.
