Oval glass-fronted silvered brass reliquary theca housing the second-class ex pluviali  (of a cape) relic of Saint Gaetano dei Conti di Thiene. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Plu.S. Caj.  (of a cape of Saint Gaetano).  On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Father Guido Maria Conforti (1931), Bishop of Parma, Italy (1907-1831), who himself was canonized in 2011. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by Bishop Conforti in 1910.
