A pair of Italian wooden reliquaries, 18th century
Height x width x depth: 52 x 18 x 12 cm.
consisting of two angels carved in gilded wood, with wings widely spread. These angels are supported by two tapered columns, which recall the classical aesthetics of the Corinthian order. The columns, in turn, rest on square bases, decorated with steps. The angels, in their hieratic position, hold in their hands elaborate garlands of flowers and leaves, symbolizing sanctity and a deep connection with the divine nature. These garlands are not only decorative elements but also function as frames for the relics placed centrally, now missing.
