Bronze reliquary cross, with episcopal seal, 19th century

This reliquary cross is ornamented with little tops on each end, the one on the top receiving a hanging ring. On the cross, the Christ is depicted dead, wearing a short perizonium and crowned by thorns. The cross shows titulus and Adam's skull too. It opens by an articulated hinge in the upper part and the lower little top, screwed, secures the locking. On the inside a little movable cross, windowed with glasses, contains the following relics:

" s. Theresiae V. " (Saint Teresa of Avila, Virgin)
" s. Sophiae M. " (Saint Sophia, Martyr)
" s. Ma. Mag. Poe. " (Coat of Saint Maria Magdalena)
" s. Elis. R. Hun. " (Saint Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary)

On the back, two episcopal wax seals fix the relics and testify that they are authentic.

Very good condition, glass above Saint Teresa relic is missing.

Cross: 14,2 (12,7 without ring) x 8,5 x 2 cm
Inner cross: 9,5 x 5,1 x 0,5 cm
