Rare 19th century silver reliquary with a glass front, containing a first class relic of the True Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The relic is identified in Latin as Vera Crux . A red cloth background provides contrast and highlights the relic; this color, omnipresent in the Christian liturgy, symbolizes the blood of Christ and his redemptive sacrifice.
The frame is finely crafted with floral and ornamental designs on the edges. The back of the reliquary is made of richly decorated metal. An inscription in relief is engraved on it: "MARY WAS CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN" , a reference to the Immaculate Conception, often associated with the Miraculous Medal. In the center, an interlaced monogram "AM" appears, probably in honor of the Virgin Mary ( Ave Maria ).
Good used condition with its original glass.
Not opened.
