The relic is affixed to a red background and identified on a typeset cedula label as Sep[ulchre] B.V.M. On the back,  the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Pietro Respighi (†1913), Vicar General of Rome (1900-1913).

The Sepulchre of the Blessed Virgin Mary is now housed inside of the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Mary at the foot of Mount of Olives, near Jerusalem.
