Oval glass-fronted gilt-bronze reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Anne. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Ossibus // S. Annae // Matris (of the bone of Saint Anne, Mother). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Giuseppe Maria Pietro Raffaele Castellani O.E.S.A. (†1854), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon (1839-1854), Papal Sacristan and Assistant to the Pontifical Throne of Pope Gregory XVI. The theca is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and signed by Fr. Castellani in 1849.
