Rare 18th-century reliquary made of silver with a glass front, containing a first-class relic of the True Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The gold leaf cross holding the relic of the True Cross plays a crucial role in highlighting this sacred object. Finely crafted, it rests on a red textile background—a color that evokes the Passion of Christ and creates a strong contrast to enhance the brilliance of the precious metal. Gold, a symbol of divine light and incorruptibility, gives the relic an aura of holiness, recalling the kingship of Christ and the priceless value of His sacrifice. This gilded cross is not just a decorative element but a liturgical frame that magnifies the central relic, placing it at the heart of a harmonious composition where every detail is designed to inspire devotion.
