About this work

Reliquary of gilded copper. A cylindrical glass is set in a gilded copper mount, consisting of two upright panels and two horizontally placed pins that support the cylindrical glass. The panels of the mount are decorated with pinnacles and with three upright pins each, ending in a rosette shape, in which stones are attached. Only the two middle ones are still present. One side has a yellow stone, the other an orange-red stone. Two rosettes are broken off on both sides.
