Description from the seller

Circular multiply reliquary for personal devotion, diameter approximately 4-5 cm. Estimated to be from the early 19th century, around 1800-1820, presumably of Italian origin or from Western Europe. Structure in pressed, shaped papier-mâché of the period; edge with twisted red silk cord and borders in gilded wire; thin cover glass. Overall weight: 11 grams. Interior with natural silk background, paperolles/quilling in gold paper, gilded monogram in a painted paper oval and handwritten cartouches. Contains contact or third-class relics, not bone fragments; does not contain human remains. Likely original sealing wax with micro-imprint or seal over the fragments. Good overall condition, with natural aging; glass free from lines or cracks. Localized absence of the silk cord on the lower edge; one cartouche with its respective relic moves freely on the silk background. Offered exclusively for historical, cultural or decorative value; no religious significance is claimed, implied, or asserted.

Seller's Story

Lover of beauty … of curiosities .. Of art.. Of the sacred.. of the profane .. I have lost Catawiki gave me the opportunity to make my collection known to other connoisseurs .. That is the true meaning of collecting ; sharing .. and a piece will never be well-collected unless it reaches another eye that appreciates it, another destination, another showcase .. Through the ages of ages .. Davide
