Серебряный мощевик с частицами от гробницы Пресвятой Богородицы и мощами Святого Мученика Валентина
Small oval glass-fronted silver reliquary pendant theca decorated around the perimeter with an intricate silver wire floral ornamentation and housing two precious relics: a pebble relic of the Sepulcher of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a sizable first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of St. Valentine, Martyr. The relics are affixed to a red silk background decorated with silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on typeset cedulae labels as Sepul. B. M. V. / S/ Valent. M. ([from] Sepulcher of the Blessed Virgin Mary / S. Valentine, Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a well-preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of Fr. Guglielmo Pifferi O.E.S.A. (†1910), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon (1887-1910) and the Sacristan of the Vatican Curia.
