"Reliquary Monstrance Of Saint Faustin - 18th Century "
A notable relic of Saint Faustinus is encased in a spectacular reliquary of finely carved, painted, and gilded wood. The decoration consists of scrolls, acanthus leaves, volutes, and floral motifs. The reliquary niche contains a relic of Saint Faustinus, likely Faustin, Martyr near Brescia (+ 122). Five episcopal seals are present on the back, guaranteeing the relic's integrity. This relic, which is bagged, measures approximately 16 cm. The reliquary itself measures 60 cm long, 53 cm high, and 26 cm deep.
A work from northern Italy, dating from the late 18th century. In fine condition.
