"Paper Reliquary"
A reliquary made of paper in an 18th century leather case which is composed of two parts. The left part contains a text written on a paper that mentions Saint Procope d'Ambert at its beginning and end but also the count of Vabres. The dates of 1684 and 12 January are also indicated in this text.
The right side, on the other hand, is intended to accommodate the relics of various saints: we can identify in particular St Marc, St Blaise, St Gervais, St Honoré or St Victor. These relics are compartmentalized by patterns in paper that bring a play on the form to the whole.
