Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Felix of Nola, patron saint of lost animals

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Felix of Nola, Martyr. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a salmon-colored silk ground, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as ex oss. S. Felicis Presbyt. Nol. Mart. (of the bone of Saint Felix, Presbyter of Nola, Martyr). 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 Felix of Nola (†c. 260) was a Christian presbyter at Nola near Naples in Italy who sold off his possessions to give to the poor but was arrested and tortured for his Christian faith during the persecution of Roman Emperor Decius (r. 249–251). He was believed to have died a martyr's death but is now listed in the General Roman Calendar as a Confessor of the Faith who survived his tortures. Five churches have been built where he was first interred. His precious remains are kept in the cathedral, but certain portions are kept in Rome, Benevento, and other places. People traveled from far away to see his burial place. He is the patron saint of lost animals and his Feast Day is commemorated on 14 January.
