"Monstrance Reliquary Topped With An Angel – 18th Century"

An elegant 18th century Italian work, in carved and gilded wood. It rests on a tripod foot on which a short shaft with a large olive receives a horizontal glazed reliquary niche. The whole is topped with an angel who watches over a bagged ex-ossibus relic of Saint Boni (? phylactery barely legible) Martyr, which is surrounded by multiple pearls and original flowers in spun glass.
On the back are five episcopal seals guaranteeing the authenticity of the venerated relic.
Dimensions of 52 cm high by 37 wide and 15 cm deep. Very good condition - some old traces of xylophages.
