ANTIQUE RELIQUARY Oval frame in blackened Napoleon III wood, and convex glass

  

Reliquary from the second half of the 19th century, late 19th century. Oval frame in blackened wood in the Napoléon III style, and a curved glass that protects a beautifully crafted bas-relief. Scene of Jesus with angels, sculpted with extreme finesse.

I do not know the material, perhaps sea foam or simply carved limestone. WARNING: FOR ANY PURCHASE OUTSIDE OF FRANCE, PLEASE REQUEST SHIPPING COSTS BEFORE PURCHASING, AS THESE MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE METHOD AND COUNTRY OF SHIPMENT.
