Oval glass-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. A substantial relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by gilt silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a somewhat faded manuscript cedula label as S. Aloisii. di Gonz. (Saint Aloysius Gonzaga). 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 Monsignor Carlo Maria Francesco Caselli O.S.M. (†1828), Archbishop of Parma (1804–1828). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Cardinal Caselli in 1824.
