1805 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Francis Xavier

Oval crystal-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Francis Xavier. A relic is affixed to a multicolor silk ground surrounded by silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Francicsi Xavieri (Saint Francis Xavier).  On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Giulio Maria Cardinal della Somaglia (†1830), Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria sopra Minerva and Vicar General of the Vatican under Pope Pius VII. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Cardinal Somaglia in 1805.
