More about this item:

Reliquaries have been used for centuries to house and venerate relics, which are usually the physical remains of saints, such as bones, fragments of clothing, or objects associated with them.

A reliquary medallion typically consists of a small container, often made of precious materials such as gold, silver, or bronze, that holds the relic securely. In the case of this wooden reliquary, the container has a wooden framework or casing. The relic itself is enclosed within a small compartment or visible through a transparent rock crystal, allowing believers to view and venerate the relic without direct contact.

The medallion format indicates that it is designed to be worn or carried as a personal devotional item. It could be attached to a chain or worn as a pendant around the neck, or kept close by as a cherished possession.

French reliquaries from different periods can display various styles, such as Gothic, Renaissance, or Baroque, reflecting the artistic trends of their time. They often feature intricate carvings, engravings, or embellishments that enhance their beauty and religious significance.

Relics and reliquaries hold immense importance within Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions, as well as in some other religious practices. They serve as a connection between the divine and the human, representing a link to the spiritual power and virtues associated with the saint or religious figure whose remains they contain.

Today, antique reliquaries and their contents are highly sought after by collectors, museums, and individuals interested in religious artifacts and historical items. They offer insights into the religious practices and cultural heritage of the past, showcasing the craftsmanship and devotion of the people who created and used them.
