ANTIQUE FRENCH MEERSCHAUM NOTRE DAME RELIQUARY

I've never seen a carved meerschaum reliquary quite like this before.  The reliquary itself is inset into a frame with bronze decorative rivets.  Under the glass is a carved meerschaum Virgin Mary holding The Babe Jesus in her lap.  The total height is slightly over 3" tall so the convex glass reliquary is very tiny indeed.  An unique treasure soon to be part of an assemblage necklace.  So keep a weather eye on Metal Corset for its debut.
