Oval silvered brass glass-fronted reliquary theca housing precious first-class ex costula (from the rib) relics of Saint John the Baptist. A substantial relic is affixed to a gilt paper burst on red silk background decorated with gilt silver wire ornamentation. The precious relic is identified on a fancy manuscript paper cedula label as De Costula S. Joan Bapt. (from the rib of St. John the Baptist). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly-preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Salvadore Magnasco († 1892), the Archbishop of Genoa (1871-1892). The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed by Monsignor Magnasco in 1872.
