Extraordinary Reliquiarie With Vanitas S. Lucia Martiri

extraordinary 17th century reliquary containing an incredible papier-mâché skull with real human teeth. a label says: CAPUT S. LUCII MART. The display case consists of a whitewashed wooden box with an oxidized silver wooden frame. The glass is still the original one full of bubbles. The skull that I remember is in papier mache and attached to a ciscino embroidered with threads and metallic stars. Extraordinary charming object. the wax seals to the authorities of the time are still present natural size of the skull
