Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Poor Ladies

A Rococo glass-fronted gilt bronze pendant reliquary theca housing the second-class Ex cilicio (from the hair shirt) relic of Saint Clare of Assisi. The relic is affixed to a ground of silk, surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire and ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Cilicio // S. Clarae Ass. (from the cloth soaked in the blood of Saint Clare of Assisi). On the back, the reliquary is secured by the perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a coat of arms of Fr. Henri-Gabriel van Gameren (†1775), Bishop of Antwerpen (1758–1775).

Saint Clare of Assisi († 1253) is an Italian saint and one of the first followers of Saint Francis of Assisi. She founded the Order of Poor Ladies, a monastic religious order for women in the Franciscan tradition, and wrote their Rule of Life, the first set of monastic guidelines known to have been written by a woman. She is a patron of Eye disease, goldsmiths, laundry, television, embroiderers, gilders, good weather, needleworkers, Santa Clara Pueblo, Obando.
