Description from the seller
Reliquary in a medallion – Textile fragment of the pluvial (subucro) associated with S. Caetani – 19th century - Italy
Oval reliquary under glass, silvered metal mount (alloy not tested, visible oxidation), containing a textile fragment presented on a red background, surrounded by a radiating decoration in gold paper cutouts.
Original handwritten banner clearly indicating: “De Subucro Pluvialis S. Caetani”, i.e., a fragment from the lining of a pluvial linked to S. Caetani.
On the reverse, closure held by red silk threads and a red wax episcopal seal, coat of arms visible with a clerical hat with six tassels on each side (bishop). Threads and seal unbroken.
Probable dating: Early 19th century
Probable origin: Italy (Caetani family very active in the Roman ecclesiastical hierarchy).
Nature of the relic: textile (of subucro pluvialis), non-bone.
Condition: Oxidized mount, signs of wear. Original seal and threads, unbroken
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
