Portable Neo-gothic Commemorative Reliquary – Buenos Aires
Neo-Gothic Commemorative Portable Reliquary – Buenos Aires – 1836 / 1936.
Rare openwork gilt bronze portable reliquary in the Neo-Gothic style, decorated with stylized scrolls and turquoise cabochons, probably dating from the late 18th or early 19th century.
Description:
The front opens onto a circular niche containing a relic of an old textile.
The base is engraved on its various sides: “11 – JUNIO – 1836 – 1936 – B. AIRES”.

This type of inscription distributed around the base is characteristic of religious objects.
Presented with its original lined box with a textile interior.
Condition:
Beautiful patina from use, coherent whole. A devotional object of a commemorative nature, representative of South American religious production.
In accordance with canon law (can. 1190 §1), this sale concerns only the reliquary as a sacred work of art.
The relics it contains are not the object of the transaction but are included free of charge for their historical and cultural value.
