Imposing Reliquary Monstrance Of Saint Octavius - Circa 1800

Made of gilded and carved wood, our large tripod monstrance rests on lion pates topped by a beautifully winged central angel. Three ex-ossibus relics composed of a fragment of the occiput and two vertebrae of Saint Octavian radiate well beyond the center of our monstrance where they have been placed.
For those who are sensitive to it, the sacral charge of this reliquary is strong. Saint Octavian, a Roman soldier martyred in 297, is one of the patron saints of the city of Turin. Six other Martyr Saints from the first centuries accompany our notable relic, namely Saints Floridi, Fructuosa, Columbae, Exuperanti, Gunigunda, and Lustini. On the back, traces of the presence of several episcopal wax seals. A work from the late 18th or early 19th century, from northern Italy.
Dimensions: 103 cm by 35 wide and 11 cm deep.
