Description: This magnificent 19th-century reliquary cross, crafted in lacquered and gilded wood, beautifully houses a relic of the Holy Nail. Measuring 27 cm by 18 cm (10.6” by 7”), the cross displays a remarkable patina that reflects its age, with some wear and minor losses to the polychromy along its edges and corners, adding to its historical allure. The Holy Nail relics are revered items in Christian tradition, believed to be the nails used in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. According to history, these sacred objects were discovered by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land between 326 and 328 AD. This discovery was pivotal, leading to the preservation of several Holy Nail relics, now venerated in cathedrals across the world, including those in Milan, Rome, and Jerusalem. These relics are believed to carry miraculous properties, symbolizing divine protection and healing powers. This reliquary cross stands as a testament to both historical devotion and intricate 19th-century craftsmanship, making it an extraordinary piece for the faithful, collectors of religious artifacts and admirers of sacred Christian relics.
