A precious relic of the Saint's hair is affixed to a gilt-paper starburst on a ground of salmon-colored silk, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Capill. S. Carae Assis. Virg. (of the hair of Saint Clare of Assisi, Virgin). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of an unidentified Roman Catholic Bishop.
