Large Antique Catholic Reliquary Box Crucifix Pendant with 10 Relics of Saints

About the Item

This antique reliquary contains 10 relics of saints with paper scrolls and red velvet. It is handcrafted from metal. This is a 3rd class relic. For better understanding, relics are divided into three classifications. A first-class relic is a body part of a saint, such as bone, blood, or flesh. Second-class relics are possessions that a saint owned, and third-class relics are items that were touched by a first- or second-class relic or that the saint touched himself. A beautiful, rare collector's item for Christian collectors. Found at an estate sale in Vienna, Austria. I believe the screw with the hanger is missing and has been lost over the years, but a jewelry maker can easily make a new one so it can be worn again. The missing hanger is reflected in the lower price of this object, so that the work required can be easily financed. The new owner can do this to adapt it to his needs.
