"Italian Diorama Reliquary - 18th Century "
An interesting piece due to its rare composition. In a carved and polychromed wooden box, between two angels probably made of wood, one of which holds a vanity and the second brandishes a representation of the martyr's palm, two relics are presented for devotion. The first is of Saint Victoire and a second, more important, of Saint Honesti, Martyr. The whole is enriched with floral motifs, gold thread embroidery, glass beads, pearls and golden canetilles.
Our reliquary has these wax seals.
Dimensions: 38 cm by 23 cm.
Good condition - some losses on the figures.
