Saint John of Nepomuk (John Nepomucene, Jan Nepomucký; Johannes Nepomuk; Ioannes Nepomucenus) (†1393) is the saint of Bohemia who was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia. Later accounts state that he was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia and refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. On the basis of this account, John of Nepomuk is considered the first martyr of the Seal of the Confessional, a patron against calumnies and, because of the manner of his death, a protector from floods and drowning. He was beatified in 1721, by Pope Innocent XIII and canonized in 1729 by Pope Benedict XIII. His Feast day is celebrated on 16 May.
A small rectangular glass-fronted brass frame reliquary housing two unusual relics of Saint John of Nepomuk. Two relics are attached to a ground of marbled paper and identified in Italian on a manuscript cedula label as Lingua di cera die la toccato la B-to Linguadi S. Giovanni di Pomucieno (Wax tongue that touched the Blessed tongue of Saint John of Nepomuk). On the back, the frame is secured by a ribbon held in place by three seals of red Spanish wax with imprints of a coat of arms of Francesco Gaetano Incontri (†1781), the Archbishop of Florence (1741-1781), Italy.
