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.

South Arabian Head of a Woman
Located in London, GB
A female head finely carved from evenly-coloured cream alabaster. The face features a strong chin, high rounded cheekbones, and large elliptical eyes deeply inset for inlays. The remains of the nose indicate that it was long, thin, and roughly triangular in form. A small, round mouth sits just below the nose. Deeply incised eyebrows follow the shape of the eyes, which are framed by unusual grooved canthi on either side, possibly to represent cosmetic eye paint. The supraorbital margins above the eyes are deeply carved, while the carving below the eyes is more subtle, smoothing the sockets into the rounded cheeks. The ears are formed from two arcs and a central sphere, and both lobes are pierced for earrings. The long hair frames the face below the ears, and is carved to create a rougher texture. There is a stock sticker on the back of the neck. A fragment of the right shoulder remains. This suggests that the head was part of a larger sculpture, possibly a full figure (though this seems unlikely due to its relatively large scale) or, more likely, a bust.
This head is stylistically aligned with those found at Timna, the capital of the ancient Yemeni kingdom of Qataban, which existed from the 1st millennium BC until the late 1st or 2nd centuries AD. Timna served as an important hub of the Incense Route, the camel caravan that transported incense from Arabia and India to ports on the Mediterranean Sea. Roman author and philosopher Pliny the Elder (23/24-79 AD) described Timna as a busy city with around 65 temples. Excavations in 1950 and 1951 by Wendell Phillips...

In a statue of Isis-Thermouthis in Alexandria museum (no. 25773, ex-collection King Farouk I), reproduced in Gotten, Pharaonen, no. 151, the snake goddess...
