Covered with fine embroidery, our mandorla-shaped reliquary houses two miniature portraits and 42 separate relics.
These are enhanced engravings. Our figures, Saint Mary Magdalene and possibly Saint Francis of Assisi, are in Glory, and the numerous relics constitute precisely the 21 rays of each of these two Glories.
The phylacteries specify that these are only Martyr Saints.
The mandorla, symbolizing the meeting of the terrestrial and celestial spheres, finds here another complementarity with the two poles of humanity that complement each other as do these two Saints. Therefore, masculine and feminine.
