    Antique reliquary in good condition, in a gilded wooden frame measuring 53 cm by 43 cm.
    On a moiré silk background, in a set of soft pastel colors, the dove of the Holy Spirit in a medallion in Glory is surrounded by four relics of Saints Eugénie, Eusèbe, Palladia and Olympe that are rarely found. It is also crowned by two relics, one of which is that of Saint Amarin.
    On either side of the composition are two flowery altar vases in rolled paper, embellished with colored silk threads. They hold some twenty ex-ossibus relics, including those of Saint Aphrodite, Léonille, Alexandre, Patrice, Herculan and Anthonin.
    Fair condition - some missing parts on the reliquary and gaps in the frame.
    Transport by parcel post is not recommended due to the traditional fragility of paperolles mounts.
