1868 Documented reliquary with relics of St. Catherine, Martyr of Alexandria

Aureola-shaped glass-fronted white-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a  manuscript cedula label as S. Catherinae V. et M. (Saint Catherine, Virgin and Martyr). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Pietro Paolo Trucchi C.M. (†1887), Bishop of Forli, Italy (1857-1887). The theca is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and signed by Fr. Trucchi in 1868.
