Description
RELIC MEDALLION in gilded metal and tortoiseshell, decorated with a bas-relief engraving depicting, on one side, the Crucifixion surrounded by the inscription “Lavit nos a peccatis in sanguine suo” and, on the other side, two cherubs kneeling before a monstrance placed on an altar, surrounded by the inscription “Praised be the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar”. With a loop. Hinged opening. 17th-century. Height: 5 cm. Empty. Slight signs of wear. Note: This item is made from pre-Convention marine tortoiseshell (Chelonioidea spp, Category I/A), dating from before 1 July 1947 and therefore complies with EC Regulation 338/97 of 9 December 1996, Article 2-Wmc. Its sale is therefore authorised without a certificate within the European Union. For any potential export outside the EU, it is the responsibility of the prospective purchaser to check with the customs authorities of the country concerned prior to any purchase, as a CITES re-export certificate will be required; this is at the expense and under the responsibility of the prospective purchaser.
