Description from the seller

This beautiful antique bronze box is a refined example of religious art. It is richly decorated with detailed reliefs depicting various biblical scenes, indicating its original function as a reliquary – a box in which holy relics or precious religious objects were stored.

The reliefs depict scenes with figures in a landscape, possibly referencing important events from the Old or New Testament. The refined details and the artisanal casting technique indicate masterful craftsmanship, perhaps produced in a workshop specialized in liturgical objects.

This relic shrine is not only a religious heritage object but also an art historical artifact that provides insight into the spiritual and artistic traditions of earlier centuries. It exudes devotion and craftsmanship and remains a fascinating symbol of faith and history.
The little box is numbered.

Height: 7 cm
