(SOLD)
Newly listed to Metal Corset II is this amazing silver plated French Art Nouveau pocket shrine reliquary which is covered in fleurs de lys, the national emblem of France.
Inside, a tiny statuette of the Virgin Mary holding a rosary from the Lourdes apparition in silver tone metal.
These shrines were often offered as a souvenir along the pilgrimage to Lourdes, France, around the late 1800s or early 1900s.
Absolutely stunning detail throughout.
