Exceptionally Rare Reliquary Mounts From Southern Italy Circa 1220

Exceptionally Rare Reliquary Mounts From Southern Italy Circa 1220. Depicting various Saints enclosed within columned arches. Highly unusual and important. Writing on the reverse when translated 'Sergius Triai, Grandson of Zallac made this box for the life of Arontii, who by his death bears witness to the truth of Christ'. Thus the box later made to preserve the integrity of the 13th century historically important mounts.
