Description from the seller

Antique reliquary with a circular frame in gilt bronze, finely worked and adorned with an elegant surround with relief decorations, characteristic of devotional sacred art of the period. On the back is the episcopal seal.

Inside the reliquary are kept ten sacred relics, arranged harmoniously on a red background, embellished with decorative metallic filaments and accompanied by their respective handwritten cartigli:

* Ex indumentis di Sant’Antonio da Padova – fragment of the saint’s garments.
* Ex veste di Santa Lucia, Vergine e Martire – fragment of the saint’s robe.
* Ex indumentis di San Carlo Borromeo – fragment of the saint’s garments.
* Ex velo di Santa Rosa, Vergine – fragment of the saint’s veil.
* Ex baculo di San Giuseppe, Sposo della Beata Vergine Maria – fragment of the saint’s staff.
* Ex indumentis di San Rocco Confessore – fragment of the saint’s garments.
* Ex tunica di San Pietro Apostolo – fragment of the saint’s tunic.
* Ex indumentis di San Domenico Abate – fragment of the saint’s garments.
* Ex indumentis di San Paolo Apostolo – fragment of the saint’s garments.
* Ex tunica di Santa Caterina – fragment of the saint’s tunic.

A suggestive devotional composition that brings together in a single case testimonies of the veneration toward the Apostles and some of the most important saints of the Christian tradition, giving the object a particular historical, religious and collectible charm.

The item for sale will be carefully packed by a specialized company.

The reliquary does not contain human remains.
