Both of our frames are centered around a large wax Agnus Dei in a Glory of silver thread mesh. The first represents Clement IX, pope from 1667 to 1669 and the second Clement XII who will govern from 1730 to 1740. In a montage of cannetilles decorated with glass beads of various colors and painted flowers, seven bagged relics of Saints accompany each of the compositions.
They are mainly saints, martyrs of the first centuries. Namely for one the Saints or Sainte, Modeste, Agatha and Agnes Virgins and Martyrs, Lambertus, Homodeus (?), Sidronius and finally Bonnaventure, a much more recent saint. Then for the second Saint Felix, Fructuosa Virgin and Martyr, Justina Virgin and Martyr also, Vertrudis, Crispinian, abruculus (?) and Génesius.
Our two reliquaries have a wooden frame with a beautiful patina, set in a wooden base of the same color. On the back are eight episcopal seals, authenticating the relics presented.
An Italian work from the very beginning of the 19th century.
