This antique silver reliquary is a curious devotional piece, depicting the famous Miraculous Medal with the image of the Virgin Mary and the inscription in French: "O Marie conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous" ("O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee"). This medal, dated 1830, carries with it the tradition of protection and faith for those who wear it. Although we believe it is later and date it between 1890-1900.
On the reverse side, the reliquary has a glass window in which a small relic or fragment can be seen bearing the inscription St Jean. These pieces were highly valued by devotees, who carried these reliquaries with them for protection and as a symbol of their faith. Ideal for collectors of antique religious objects and lovers of sacred history, this reliquary is a testament to the devotional craftsmanship of its time.
