$1,195.00
Elements
This is an incredible piece of religious history - and only the second one I have seen. The only other one I have seen and owned was much larger- and this is a relatively diminutive size - and ready for your own pendant chain. Carved from a dark or ebony wood, and with a silver hand wrought bale, there are 30 relics with 12 each on each side around the central paperolle relics - many are obscured with time but I can read the following:
S Marcella
S Maximi
Saint Felician
S Plaadt
S Donah M
One side of the central relics appears to have a more recent glass covering - the other appears original - and both are very clear.
