Французкий реликварий с реликвией Святого Первомученика Стефана

A richly decorated gilt brass reliquary monstrance decorated by multicolored crystals and housing in the central glass-fronted cavity a first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Stephen, the Protomartyr. A substantial relic comprised of multiple bone fragments is arranged in an X shape on the ground of red velvet surrounded by gilt paperolle with small pearls and identified in French on typeset cedula label as S. Etienne, 1-er M. (Saint Stephen, the First Martyr). On the back, under a removable cap, the relics are secured by an undisturbed seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of an unidentified Roman Catholic Archbishop.
