Reliquary theca with relic of St. ​​Angela of Foligno, Mistress of Theologians

Oval glass-fronted whote metal pendant reliquary theca housing a first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of Saint ​Angela of Foligno. The relic is affixed to a red silk background surrounded by silver wire and gilt paperole ornamentation and identified on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. B. Angelae Vid. F.  (of the bone of the Blessed Angela, Widow of Foligno). On the back,  the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Antonio Martini (†1809), Archbishop of Florence (1781-1809).

​Saint ​Angela of Foligno, T.O.S.F., (†1309) was an Italian Franciscan tertiary who became known as a mystic from her extensive writings about her mystical revelations. Due to the respect they engendered in the Catholic Church, she is known as "Mistress of Theologians". Pope Clement XI approved the veneration paid to her over the centuries in his beatification of her ​in 1701 and Pope Francis extended the veneration to all the Church ​in 2013, declaring her a saint.
