Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Catherine de' Ricci, patron of the sick

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex carne (of the flesh) and ex tela imbuta sanguine (of the cloth soaked in blood) relics of Saint Catherine de' Ricci.  The relics are affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a ground of salmon-colored silk, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as ex carne & ex tela imbuta sang. / S. Catahrinae de Ricciis,(of the flesh and of the cloth soaked in blood of Saint Catherine de' Ricci). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775).

Saint Catherine de' Ricci (†1590) was an Italian Dominican Tertiary sister venerated for her mystic visions and is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church. She is believed to have had miraculous visions and corporeal encounters with Jesus, both with the infant Jesus and with the adult Jesus. She is said to have spontaneously bled with the wounds of the crucified Christ. Her feast day is commemorated on February 2 and she is considered a patron saint of the sick.
