Reliquary Of Saint Pacific - Venice Around 1750

The relic as a vehicle of Faith, allows the Divine to be materialized, made accessible, not to say comprehensible.
If the so-called small relics, that is to say those which only include a part provided that they are visible to the naked eye, are extremely numerous, the notable relics are rarer. Our reliquary hunting exhibits and protects notable relics, those of Saint Pacifique and the Holy Relics.
In gilded and green lacquered wood with imitation marble decorations, it rests on two reclining lions.
It is surmounted by a large palmette, housing a montage of gold and silver threads with a flower motif, the whole welcoming the relics of Saint Pacifique as well as the Holy Relics. Presence of wax seals authenticating the relics offered for devotion. Saint Pacifique, Italian priest from the city of Ancona, left the earthly world in 1720.
A beautiful Italian work from the Venice region from the mid-18th century. Dimensions of 33.5 cm long - 26 high and 19 cm deep.
