Reliquary With Relics Of Saint Jerome - Circa 1700

In silver-plated bronze, our antique monstrance rests on a circular base with engraved decoration of the Shroud of the Holy Face and the instruments of the Passion. The ovoid knot is adorned with plants. The cup is surmounted by a canopy with fluted columns supported by angels and above which are four holy figures. The dome of the canopy is topped with an ethereal representation of Christ. It receives a glass reliquary ampoule with numerous bone fragments.
The phylactery is difficult to read, but it is undoubtedly Saint Hieronymi for Saint Jerome of Stridon.
A fine Germanic work from the very beginning of the 18th century. Dimensions of 37 cm by 12 cm in diameter, an interesting hidden symbolism because the 37 in gematria is the number of Wisdom and the 12 refers us to the Old Testament as well as to the New Alliance.
