RELICARY IN GILDED WOOD WITH GOLD LEAF - 18TH CENTURY

Relicary in gilded wood with gold leaf. At the base is carved, on a red lacquered background, the monogram of Christ, also known as Chi Rho (Chrismon or Chrisma), a graphic sign generated by the combination of letters of the Greek alphabet, which form an abbreviation of the name of Jesus. It is traditionally used as a Christian symbol and is one of the main christograms. Richly carved with foliage motifs and garlands. The state of preservation is quite good, considering the era. Some gilding losses (visible in the photos). I think it had a small cross at the top, now missing. It bears traces of wax on both the front and the back. Measurements: height cm. 40.5 - width cm. 16 - depth cm. 9.5 Period: 18th century Item accompanied by certificate of authenticity.
