Мощевик с мощами Святой мученицы Агафьи Сицилийской

Oval glass-fronted silvered metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Benedict, Martyr. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Benedicti M. (Saint Benedict, Martyr). 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. Francesco Saverio Cristiani O.E.S.A. († 1800), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon in a capacity of the Sacristan of the Apostolic Palace during the pontificate of Pope Pius VI (p. 1775-1799). The theca is accompanied by the original matching authentics documents issued and signed by Fr. Cristiani in 1791.
