medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I have a picture of a pair of small reliquaries I glimpsed on display in
the Franciscan church in Venice earlier this year.
I think this is more a small display of relics rather than a series of
votive offerings at one big relic, but it might just meet your needs?
One is a mini-Ste Chappelle-shaped reliquary, perfect for 'architecture
that looks like a reliquary and vice versa'-type teaching; the other is
a golden arm, with a small opening presumably containing a piece of
bone. Both are on a shelf glimpsed through some rococo cabinet work in
which the relic collections was displayed.
If this is any use I could email you direct - or if someone onlist is
happy to mount it on the web - I could get it to you (or indeed anyone
else interested) that way.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and

I am trying to put together an assignment for students, and I would like
an image of a medieval reliquary, but preferable one that still has the
votive offerings still attached. Even better if the reliquary looks like
a body part, even better if there is an extant saint's life. Henry VIII
pretty much made sure they don't exist for the part of the world I know
best.
Thanks in advance.
