Reliquary in gilded wood with gold leaf. At the base is carved, on a red lacquered background, the monogram of Christ, also known as Chi Rho (Chrismon or Chrisma), it is a graphic sign generated by the combination of letters of the Greek alphabet, which form an abbreviation of the name of Jesus, it is traditionally used as a Christian symbol and is one of the main Christograms. Richly carved with leaf and garland patterns. The state of conservation is quite good, considering the age. A few drops of gilding (visible in the photos). I think at the top he carried a small cross, now missing. He has traces of wax on both the front and the back.
