Here is a beautiful Antique French wooden and rock crystal reliquary medallion containing relics of St Ignas Loy, St Alesandro, and St. Franc. French circa 18th century. Measures approx. 2”H x 1.5”W x 0.5”D More about this item: Reliquaries have been used for centuries to house and venerate relics, which are usually the physical remains of saints, such as bones, fragments of clothing, or objects associated with them. A reliquary medallion typically consists of a small container, often made of precious materials such as gold, silver, or bronze, that holds the relic securely. In the case of this wooden reliquary, the container has a wooden framework or casing. The relic itself is enclosed within a small compartment or visible through a transparent rock crystal, allowing believers to view and venerate the relic without direct contact. The medallion format indicates that it is designed to be worn or carried as a personal devotional item. It could be attached to a chain or worn as a pendant around the neck, or kept close by as a cherished possession. French reliquaries...
