1766 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Vincent Ferrer

Oval crystal-fronted metal reliquary theca housing the first-class-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Vincent Ferrer. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground decorated by silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Vinsentii Fer. (Saint Vincent Ferrer)  On the back, the theca is secured by a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Alessandro Cervini (†), Archbishop of Siena, Italy (1747-1771). The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed by Cardinal Cervini in 1766. 

Saint Vincent Ferrer, O.P. (†1419) was a Valencian Dominican friar who gained acclaim as a missionary and a logician and was canonized by Pope Calixtus III in 1455. His feast day is celebrated on 5 April. He is a holy patron of builders, construction workers, plumbers, fishermen, and orphanages.
