Reliquary description
The obelisks are a stunning example of XVIII Holy Roman Empire Rococo-Baroque style with intricate decorations of gold gilt rocailles and hearts twisting around the shape of the polychromed wood obelisks.
The reliquaries are themselves from the XVIII century and XIX century. Safely kept under a glass we can see the relics with their names resting on a silk background.
At the back of the reliquary, we are sure to find a episcopalian wax seal holding the threads together and guaranteeing the authenticity of each holy relic.
Condition
Outstanding, the obelisk show a remarkable condition, only a couple of cracks here and there on the far corners. The reliquaries and cases shows little wear.
