"Reliquary In Silver And Eglomise Painting 17th Century"
SUBLIME ITALIAN RELIQUARY FROM THE 17TH CENTURY COMPOSED OF 2 PAINTINGS ON GLASS ONE SIDE REPRESENTING CHRIST IN A GOLD ENCOURAGE AND ON THE OTHER A SAINT (VERONICA?) HOLDING HERBS IN HER HAND THE SURROUND IS IN SILVER FILIGREE THE RELIQUARY IS PROBABLY HEAVY FULL...BUT I DID NOT TAKE THE RISK OF OPENING IT THE PAINTINGS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION TWO SMALL SCALES ON THE HOLY SEE PHOTO WHEN THE WATERMARK THERE ARE MISSING AND TWISTED PARTS... THIS DOES NOT REMOVE IT DESPITE EVERYTHING NO CHARM AND REMAINS A TASTY DOCUMENT
