Antique reliquary from the mid-19th century, made of gilt metal, designed to be hung vertically or horizontally. The piece features a stylized cross-shaped structure with symmetrical floral endings, each adorned with red and green glass cabochons in open settings. The central element is protected by a glass pane under which, as far as the eye can see, the remains of at least five individual relics are preserved, sealed with a red wax seal. Although the original handwritten labels are visible, they are difficult to read due to the opacity of the glass in some parts. It has not been opened to preserve the integrity of the contents and the original wax seal. We attach a high-contrast photo that may aid in deciphering the names.
The back features a removable oval lid, three suspension rings, and the engraved "33" mark along with another stamp, possibly a lot number or workshop reference. Its sober yet devotional design reflects the religious taste of the Catholic tradition in continental Europe around 1850.
Ideal as a collector's item for lovers of historical liturgy, devotional objects, or sacred jewelry. It can also be used in exhibitions or as a symbolic piece in spiritually or Victorian-inspired styles.
