Baroque Reliquary - Wood

Beautiful ostensorium reliquary in carved and gilded wood, dating from the 18th century (Baroque or late Italian Baroque). Altar reliquary with carved, shaped and gilded wood, with acanthus leaf motifs and curls typical of Baroque/Rococo style. It features two reliquaries: The first in the upper part consisting of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga and Saint John the Baptist with silk threads and seal visible in the photo, and the second (lower part) of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also complete. Clearly, given its age there are small losses and wormholes typical of ancient wooden artifacts. The reliquary does not contain human remains. This object is offered exclusively for its historical, cultural, or decorative value. No religious significance is claimed, implied, or supported. Over time, some elements of the reliquary may have been modified or restored.
