Antique French Wooden Reliquary Medallion Containing Relics
Located in Victoria, BC
Here is a beautiful Antique French wooden and rock crystal reliquary medallion containing relics of St Ignas Loy, St Alesandro, and St. Franc.
French circa 18th century.
Measures approx. 2”H x 1.5”W x 0.5”D
More about this item:
Reliquaries have been used for centuries to house and venerate relics, which are usually the physical remains of saints, such as bones, fragments of clothing, or objects associated with them.
A reliquary medallion typically consists of a small container, often made of precious materials such as gold, silver, or bronze, that holds the relic securely. In the case of this wooden reliquary, the container has a wooden framework or casing. The relic itself is enclosed within a small compartment or visible through a transparent rock crystal, allowing believers to view and venerate the relic without direct contact.
The medallion format indicates that it is designed to be worn or carried as a personal devotional item. It could be attached to a chain or worn as a pendant around the neck, or kept close by as a cherished possession.

Hellenistic Terracotta Statuette of Aphrodite
Located in London, GB
Terracotta statuette of a goddess, likely Aphrodite, leaning on a pillar. Her hair is pulled back into a bun, with framing locks around the forehead and an idealised face. Her left arm is resting on a pillar, right arm is on the hip, which is angled outwards to give the figure a sense of contrapposto. This flowing pose is emphasised by the projecting left leg, which peeks out of naturalistic drapery that falls from the waist.
The goddess's pose and nudity are likely to have been influenced by Praxiteles' statue of Aphrodite at Knidos, sculpted in Ca. 350 BC and one of the first life-size depictions of the nude female form in Greek history. The choice to depict the goddess nude...
